The journey to Alaska continues!
In this episode of our Alaska RV adventure, we leave the breathtaking scenery of Jasper National Park and begin one of the most iconic drives in North America—the legendary 2,200-kilometer journey toward Dawson City along the historic Alaska Highway.
Our first stop is Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway in Dawson Creek, where one of the world’s greatest road trips officially begins.
Along the way, we discover not one—but TWO incredible cinnamon rolls. First, we stop at the famous Hug A Mug Bakery in Dawson Creek, then compare it with the legendary cinnamon rolls at Tetsa River Lodge, a must-stop destination for travelers driving to Alaska.
Next, we relax in the beautiful natural pools at Liard River Hot Springs, one of the most popular stops on the Alaska Highway. Camping behind an electric bear fence made for an unforgettable experience…but the swarms of mosquitoes nearly chased us away! Thankfully, our mosquito tent saved the day.
We continue through Whitehorse, Yukon, before ending our drive at one of the most beautiful campgrounds we’ve ever visited—Tatchun Lake Territorial Campground. Getting there required surviving five miles of one of the roughest roads we’ve driven so far, and by the time we arrived, Nancy had to reorganize the pantry after cans exploded out of the cabinets!
If you’re planning an Alaska RV trip, this episode is packed with tips, incredible scenery, delicious food, and honest reviews of some of the most famous stops along the Alaska Highway.
