Driving the Cassiar Highway

We drove from Watson Lake on the Alaska Highway down the Cassiar Highway to New Hazleton on Yellowhead 16. It was a lovely drive and a beautiful day.

Pictures of Dease Lake from the Cassiar Highway. They were taken close to the spot where, in 1977, I turned over my VW camper after catching a loose rock and spinning out. Neither I nor my 2 dogs were hurt, and I was able to drive back the van to Denver, so it turned out okay.

It is now our favorite way to go to Alaska and back---needless to say, the road is much improved.


Mountains along the Cassiar. Oops--a duplicate and I am not sure how to remove it.

We saw a lot of wildlife today. 1 cow moose, 1 fox, and 6 bears. This is the only one we got a picture of. Most of them were black bears, but we think this might be a grizzly. Click on the pick and see what you think.
