Driving the Alaska Highway through Kluane National Park & Reserve
Up early again and began our drive out of Alaska. The road was in turn – nice pavement to rocky gravel to undulating ribbons of pavement that felt like a roller-coaster ride. Interesting.
Thru the border again with no problems – this time we didn’t hit anything! LOL.
Drove into Beaver Creek for a stamp in our Yukon Passport Book and had lunch at Buckshot Betty’s in Beaver Creek, YT, which was ok … but we found out afterwards that they were giving away free hot dogs and burgers at the tourist info booth … just down the road! Drat!
Carried on to the Lake Creek Territorial Campground and pulled in around 2:30. Got a nice site on the creek although it’s a bit windy to sit out. The wind and sun are playing tag and you don’t know whether to put on a heavier shirt or take off your jacket and soak up the heat. Kind of crazy!
The scenery along the way has been nothing short of stunning … mountains, lakes, meadows, trees … and we saw a moose and her calf this morning. Woo-hoo … finally some critters!
The campsite was a good one … it was cold but snuggly warm in our bed with the wool comforter and my doggy blanket on top!
