The land of beautiful scenery and wildlife on the road
Canada has always been one of those countries that is so close to the states that I have never visited it, but going through some of the most remote parts of the Yukon Territory, British Colombia, and Alberta, offers some of the best scenery that the country has to offer!!!!!!
Crossing from Alaska we drove into the beautiful Gold Rush town of Dawson City as we camped across the river, we would take a ferry over to see the beautiful Klondike town which has just as many bars and restaurants as bigger cities.
Campsite:
Dawson City like I mentioned above is a beautiful city. Strolling around going into bars, cafes, or restaurants is pretty much what makes this a relaxing place. You can go see Can Can Girls dance or drink whiskey out of the mummified toe… The story can be found here and it is pretty much one of the most interesting things I have done: https://www.cbc.ca/shortdocs/features/the-story-of-the-sourtoe-cocktail-a-shot-of-whiskey-garnished-with-a-human .
Dawson City buildings are quite beautiful and amazing to look at!!!
A shipwreck on the river banks happened some years ago and crawling around inside of it was a challenge…
Going south on the Klondike highway we ran into some beautiful landscapes and scenery that a lot of people never see as it is a very remote highway and sometimes we would go for hours without seeing another vehicle, sometimes just at makeshift bush camps…..
In Lake Watson in Canada there is the most bizarre signpost forest that you will ever see. License Plates, Sign Posts, Town Signs and other memorabilia from around the world are hung all over. It was interesting to say the least.
No matter if we were on the roads or in national parks we always had wildlife around us. Bears, Moose, Caribou, Reindeer, Yellow Bellied Marmots, Bison, and Birds rounded out what we saw in abundance…
Moving down south through the Canadian Rockies we still see spectacular scenery and get into Jasper National Park and the lovely scenery around there (although it was quite rainy sometimes).
As we head down the Parkway Highway south we run into some beautiful waterfalls and the ice fields where some people hiked up and some people like me went around and did photography!!!
As we continue to head South, we stop at Lake Louise which is a picturesque beautiful lake with its blue turquoise waters, and into Banff National Park with its wildlife and beautiful walks. We finish off the last few days going to some beautiful lakes en route to the border of USA and Canada….
One response to “Canada”
I long to visit this beautiful country
