Today I will drive southeast from Tok and spend one night in the Yukon Territory. Tomorrow I will head south from Haines Junction and re-enter Alaska to spend one night in the small coastal town of Haines. The day after that I will take a ferry to another small coastal town in Alaska – Skagway. I will only be there a short time to see the town and have lunch, and will then drive north, back into Canada, and spend that night in Whitehorse.
I didn’t take too many photos on today’s drive, but I did stop at a large parking area from which I saw a mountain range off to the west.
Further up the road I found some other spots where there was sun getting through the morning clouds to highlight the snow on some other mountains.
I soon crossed the border into Canada and got to the closest village on that side of the border, Beaver Creek.
I then found myself back on some of the worst parts of the Alaska Highway.
Flashbacks of alternating gravel and pavement, as you see above, and long stretches of just gravel. There was still one long construction zone where they were completely rebuilding the road and traffic had to wait for a Pilot vehicle to safely guide us through the construction vehicles and the large tandem trucks hauling rock.
The further I drove the nicer the day became, with the morning clouds yielding to blue skies.
I arrived in Haines Junction, checked into my Airbnb there, and went out for something to eat. This was the view looking west when I got back to my car shortly before 8pm.
