As a couple from Alabama. We do not care what you are wearing. Just a word of encouragement to the both of you. This is our favorite UA-cam channel. Please don't let stupid comments get you down. We love every minute of your videos. We do worry about your safety when we don't hear from yall. You both are awesome in our book. Keep up the good work
Thanks for bringing back some fond memories of my greatest road trip ever. i drove from Chicago to Fairbanks in 1993, leaving late in the season on Aug. 6th. I headed up through Minneapolis, North Dakota, Glacier/Waterton NP, Banff, Jasper, and Hinton. (The Columbia Icefields Parkway between Jasper and Banff has some of the most stunning mountain scenery in all of North America-it's a "must see!") It was good to see Muncho Lake and Liard Hot Springs again. I detoured into Skagway to ride the White Pass & Yukon Railroad and then headed to Fairbanks. I spent about 5 days in and around Denali National Park and then down to Anchorage to stay with friends. I made it to Homer and Wrangell-St. Elias NP. My friends won the lottery to drive your personal vehicle all the way to Wonder Lake in Denali NP on the last day the park was open: Sept. 13th and they gave the ticket to me to use because they couldn't. Amazing. It was late in the season, and I knew I had to book it south quickly to avoid snow. Between Hinton and Jasper, it snowed quite a bit but melted the next day. I returned to Chicago by way of Vancouver, BC; San Diego, CA; New Orleans, LA; Mobile, AL; and Memphis, TN. Al totaled, I was gone 70 days and drove 18,168 miles. I'd do it again tomorrow (except, perhaps, the camping in a tent every night part. 😂) The only issue I had with my vehicle on the Alaska Highway was a burned out headlight from the requirement to have you lights on at all times. Safe travels.
That is an EPIC trip! We just spent some time in Denali a couple weeks ago and had a great time even only on the first 43 miles so we can only imagine how awesome the rest of the road is!
Beautiful scenery; the mountains; lakes, waterfalls, and the cinnamon roll, or loaf. Just fantastic. Glad you miss the problems on the highway 😎😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
Dawson creek fella here. Friends with the owner of beans and barley and even worked there a little once. Great place and I'm glad you enjoyed our small city 😀
Great video. You do a great job highlighting your adventures and the beauty of BC. I taught school at Toad River (Mile 422) for a year and 2 more years in Ft. Nelson in the early-mid-90s. Travelling back and forth to FN, my teaching partner and I would often be stopped and blocked on the highway by a herd of hundreds of caribou. (Literally, like the scene from Polar Express!) No shortage of wildlife and northern lights. I'm surprised you didn't see any moose, deer, wolves, elk, etc. It's hard to believe but Stone Mountain is even more amazing on a bright and sunny day and video just isn't able to capture the breath-taking blue of Muncho Lake. The locals and truckers on the highway are some of the best people you'll meet.
That’s a fun story! We did see some of that wildlife in the Yukon in our next two videos! That park was so incredible! We’d love to go back on a clear day! And we agree…we met a trucker at an overlook and he was so nice. Thanks and thanks for watching, Patrick!
Can you make these videos an hour long? I'm enjoying living vicariously through your adventures and 33 minutes is not long enough! I'll take all the B roll as filler. Also, how have you guys not made any kind of reference to Dawson's Creek the TV show?
We're cranking out our adventures as fast as we can! We include as much as we can in each video that makes a good story. We wish we could share more, but we're worked to the max as it is. But thank you for the thought! We know how you feel with the channels we watch too! haha neither of us watched that show, but we've sang the theme song many times!
I did a little research on that and the show is set in the eastern USA, whether the producers borrowed the show's name from this town was not revealed, however, is it not true that creeks (small mountain streams) are pronounced "cricks" down south?
@@AdventuresofAplusK For sure! I was only joking about the one hour episodes. I definitely don't want you guys burning out when your full time journeys just started!
Thank you for stopping to show us the nature along the way. I’ve never seen caribou before! The hot springs scene was like the story of Goldilocks and the three bears. 😂
I was thinking of you guys the other day when I heard about the Alaska Highway collapse. You must have just missed that! I love seeing all the wildlife!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Stock up your food next big town. That's a major hwy for supplies above it and Alaska already has limited stuff and dealing with inflation. Safe travels.
@@AdventuresofAplusK If you are doing (or have already done) the Cassier (#37) south make certain you go slow and enjoy that journey. We typically spend 5-7 days just on the Cassier and we've done it a significant number of time, its just that awesome.
CAN’T STOP SMILING!!!! These vlogs keep getting better and better as you get closer and closer! I’m at a loss for words…freaking awesome vlog! This has got to be one the absolutely most amazing road trips anywhere on earth! WOW!!! I’m still drooling over the cinnamon buns. The word “pillowy” was used…hot springs, all sorts of wildlife and crazy Mountain View’s…I mean c’mon! This brought me so much happiness! You’re THE best!!!!
Woohooooo!!! We loved the Alaska highway! It's been the trip of a lifetime! The cinnamon buns were outrageous, the hot springs were relaxing, the wildlife was super wild, and the mountains awe inspiring! Thanks, Brad you always put a smile on our faces!!!
Love the excitement you two have for all your adventures as well as the fun you create on your drives. So far there are bears, buffalo, caribou, bighorn sheep, and a porcupine. Thanks for sharing.
I love that you always seem to have the trails to yourselves - so peaceful and beautiful! Maybe I missed it but have you done a van life with a dog video? Day in the life of Kona 🙂
We didn't encounter too many people along our drive on the Alaska Highway. It was nice 😊. We don't have a video, but we do have a blog post about how we travel with Kona if you're interested in learning more. adventuresofaplusk.com/full-time-van-life-with-a-dog-tips-for-traveling-with-a-dog/
So fun to follow you on this adventure. Years ago had a plan to travel from Phoenix to Alaska. Maybe one day it'll happen for me. Meanwhile will enjoy everything that you are sharing. Safe travels! 🙏
Amazing 👏 I love all the wildlife you got to see. You two are truly blessed and loved this part of your adventure. Such beautiful mountains and lakes, hot springs campgrounds wow. Take care!
We've loved everywhere we've been in Canada. BC and the Yukon were so amazing! We're excited to check out that highway on the way down! Thanks for watching!
Wow... So Beautiful, all the amazing views you're seeing and beautiful animals... love it. Glad you guys are able to keep in touch with family. Safe travels blessings. 😊
We live right around the corner from that sign. Just moved back to Dawson Creek May 25th after 10 years. Glad you mentioned the dates of this video. I was going to tell you about the road closure up ahead. Enjoy your adventures.
You guys are so great at articulating and demonstrating your appreciation of all things amazing on the roads you are travelling. Of course your camera skills are to be envied as well. Thank you so much for sharing.
Never thought I'd make it to the Alcan. Thanks for letting me tag a long. You two really put your heart and soul into making these videos. Make sure to take bear spray when hiking. Waiting for the next episode. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
We are happy and thankful we can share! We work hard on these videos and it makes us happy to hear they are so appreciated! We always carry bear spray with us in bear country! Gotta stay alert and make noise too!
So good to see the highway adventures. My mom lived at Summit Lake as a kid. Drove that road so many times as a kid and adult. thanks for the memories!
I admire your bravery, hiking in such a remote area, especially after seeing all of those bears! Everything looks so beautiful. My husband was stationed in Alaska in the Air Force, but I have never been. We are planning to drive there in the next few years🤞, so your videos are very helpful!
Ya we get nervous, but as long as we are alert, make noise, and know what to do when we encounter a bear we'll be alright! We hope you can go! We plan on creating lots of written content on our website from our journey this year so hopefully that will be helpful as well!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I live in Dawson Creek as well. (Mile 0 of Alaska Hiway) I'm halfway thru this video and it is epic so far! The drive to Liard is so beautiful!!!
Love love love your Alaska videos! I’ve been taking notes as I’m planning our Arctic Circle road trip next year! Going to drive the alaskan highway to get there so I’m saving every spot you guys stopped at along the route 😍 Thank you for all the amazing info you provide!
That’s awesome! You’re going to love it! Stay tuned for a future video featuring the Arctic Circle and beyond! We’ll also have tons of guides and itineraries on our website over the holidays for everywhere we visited! We’re glad our videos are helpful and thanks for watching!
No doubt that you two wake up most days & pinch yourselves that this is your life!🌻Always grateful for these vlogs that allow me to come along for the ride!❤️Can’t wait to see what’s around the bend! 🌈 Hugs to Kona.🥰
We are extremely lucky and thankful for what we get to do every day! We're happy we can share! We're also thankful it connects us with awesome people like you! Thank you for your comments and for watching!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ADVENTURE. IT HAS BEEN A LIFE LONG DREAM OF MINE TO GO SPEND TIME IN ALASKA.. THIS SPRING IM BUYING 20 ACRES IN NORTH IDAHO, A 5TH WHEEL TO DRIVE UP THERE. I PLAN ON 3 MONTHS EVERY YR. TO TRAVEL THIS COUNTRY AND SEE ALL THE NATIONAL PARKS... CARRY ON ADVENTURING... I WILL ALSO SEE BANFF AND CANADA AND 3 MONTHS IN ALASKA
New videos from you guys are the highlight of my week! My son and I love anticipating a "pillowy" comment about whatever yummy thing you are eating each week. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
Congrats. My bucket list dream one day. I did drive a portion of the Alaska Highway from/to Delta Junction in June 2017 and 19. I have driven and conquered both the Dalton and Dempster Hwys in June 2019. The wildest and most fun road adventures of my life.
We just came back from a trip on the Alaska highway! Enjoying reliving so many of the places we stopped at! We didn't go all the way into mainland Alaska. At Whitehorse we went down the Klondike highway into skagway, took a ferry into Haines, drove the Haines highway until we got to the Stewart cassiar highway and took that road all the way down. Was amazing!
You guys seem to outdo yourselves each time. Of course the wilderness landscapes here play a big role. Mungo Lake was breathtaking . Whirlpool canyon really unique. Caribou and bighorn sheep sightings a special treat.😀
Two more days of my health recovery at home, I'm binge watching UA-cams such as this channel. The backcountry space and air there must be refreshing from the big city..
It was so fun to see you guys so excited; put a smile on my face! My husband watched this one and last weeks video and enjoyed it, too! I never tire of seeing the coffee shops you visit!
awesome! loving this grand adventure! looks like you're loving everything about the trip... as you should be! the views look epic and the adventure spectacular!
I love how you serenade the bears!! You definitely have fun - it's great to see. When we were in Yellowstone two years ago, we were calling out "Yo Bears," and my daughter who was two at the time starting calling out, "Go Squirrels!" It's a family joke now. So if you hear a family on your adventures calling "Go Squirrels," stop and say hi, that'll be us! And if we hear someone singing to the bears, we'll know it's you! :)
I’m going to Alaska in June, 2023 in a 15 rv guided caravan. I’m really enjoying your videos to make my plans. My tour will be 60 days meeting up in Dawson creek.
Superb quality video, amazing adventure to Alaska ! So far away, beautiful episode filming 🎥 again .I really enjoyed to watch, so wilderness, no people on the road. It's so fascinating to see everything. Incredible spectacular scenery. Many thanks .
WOW! British Columbia is so amazingly beautiful! 😍 I hope to explore my own province in the future! I was in the Yukon last March, and would love to visit Alaska too. Thanks for this wonderful video. Very well done! 😃👍🏾
I got behind on your videos this summer because I was off on my own 2-month Utah adventure with limited internet and cell access (with many of my stops inspired by your videos from last year!), so I am just now starting to catch up. If these first Canada videos are any indication, it looks like you have had an absolutely amazing adventure this summer. I can't wait to see all of your Alaska experiences! As always, truly top quality videography on display here!
That cobb salad was very northern European of you. I feel like when I go to places like Germany, Poland etc. have lots of cheese, meats and veggies for brekkie. I can't believe how little I knew of the Alaska highway. Had no idea that up until WW2 there was no road link, or the agreement with Canada. What was the animal at 11:55, I couldn't quite tell from its butt! 🤣 I've been loving all of the wild life you've shared with us in this clip from the bison and bears to the caribou. Laughed when you guys were like, this is the first time we've seen them then immediately afterwards you hiked with more. The hot springs were amazing and a real surprise, would never have guessed they were there! Those river shots at the end were immense. I thought when you guys went to the waters edge it was scarily dangerous, but then Whirlpool Canyon was something else! Such a gorgeous and really calming video this one ❤️
Hey guys, your taco 🌮 troll here! We left Tucson on May 1 and hit Dawson Creek today. Thank you for the inspiration! ALCAN starts tomorrow. I seem to recall it's gets harder to find good tacos until we get to Homer...you two are awesome..keep it up!
Loved the video. We drove up from Alabama with our 5th wheel in 2012 and 2018. We enjoyed reliving it through your video. We want to go back a 3rd time but we will be driving a van or class c so we can stay in some out of the way places. Thanks can't wait to see the other videos!
Loved all the beauty…I can’t wait to see how much more beautiful it gets because this was really awesome! That cinnamon roll was ridiculous…😋🤤. Loved all the driving dance moves and Kathryn’s comment to Adam, “what are you doing?” Haha! The hot springs looked so relaxing no wonder you stayed so long. And, Kona had a lot of time in the video which you know gamma loves❣️ Keep traveling safe and know that you are awesome and no one can take that away from you! 😘❤️❤️❤️🐶🥰
Ya never know what you're going to get when the music starts playing and we start dancing! 😂 The cinnamon roll was super super good, but it didn't beat the holiday monkey bread! 🐵 This section of the road was gorgeous, but it gets even better, believe it or not!
What an amazing video! Absolutely breathtaking landscapes. Kona is living her best life ever. I particularly loved the sound of the ice in the water making like a tinkling sound, epic. Drive safe.
Just made it to northern Rocky Lodge Muncho Lake today. Celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. We went here for our honeymoon. We stopped this morning at Tesla River Lodge. Yup best cinnamon bun ever. Thanks for the tip. (14 crows, a baby elk alone , and a male elk full rack) you got us beat on different animals lol
Wonderful video!! Brings back great memories of the 6 trips I had with my parents. Last one being in 1988. We used a pick up truck with a homemade camper shell. The Alcan was gravel road at that time. Lots of construction too!! Met great people along the way. Would love to go back and experience it again! Watching your videos is awesome!! Thank you for sharing!! Enjoy your adventures!!🤩
We're thankful most of the road is paved now! We though it was in great condition the entire way! We know we'll be driving it many more times also. Thank you and thanks for watching!
Just gorgeous! Glad to hear you are coming back on the Cassiar! It will take a bit to fix the road but they will get it done as quick as they can hopefully. The view have been spectacular in this video!
Some great scenery. Glad the fog and clouds cleared so you were able to do that hike and see the mountains around you. You can also see tufa at Mono Lake, California, just east of Yosemite. Was the road paved the entire way (other than areas that were undergoing repair)?
We've been really fortunate with the weather so far! Hopefully it stays that way! We can't wait to go back to Yosemite one day and get out in the Eastern Sierras! The road has been mostly paved. Only some short sections of gravel. There are a few areas under construction though, but nothing crazy! We've learned there's two seasons up North....winter and construction season!
@@AdventuresofAplusK As a native Midwesterner, I can confirm. Winter and Road Construction. Also, the mosquito is the State Bird of many midwestern states.
Thank you! It's really easy to let it get messy! And once it gets messy it gets overwhelming so we try to put things away as quickly as we can! Thanks, Hannah!
Saw your IG story … delete those types of comments and move away from them. Your community - including me - are big fans of who you are. Absolutely wonderful people! I’m off to watch the video - the best way to spend a rainy Wisconsin afternoon, dreaming of Alaska!
Unfortunately these comments always seem to come from our community. We ignore and block people often, but we also believe it’s important to set boundaries and make it clear that we do not tolerate being treated this way. We can’t expect change without speaking out and standing up for ourselves!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Totally agree! My intent was really to provide a show of support to you. I’m a huge fan of just who you are and the content you are creating. Hoping some positives and appreciation will help offset the other stuff.
It is a beautiful place the yukon I grew up at Creek Creek the first stop in the Yukon. 45 miles south of watson lake.looks like you guys had a great time.
Your trip brings back good memories of my trips to Alaska. I like Muncho Lake and your camp site looks a lot line the last one I used. The road along the lake was put in after the original road which ran above the lake on the hill side. Many fatal accidents happened in the winter with trucks sliding off the cliff. I met a man that ran a road grader on the alcan during the war years, summer and winter. He had 100 miles to grade, stops along the way for fuel, food repairs etc. every 10 miles, summer and winter, Then turn around and work back. This was repeated all along the road. Crews also repaird the road as necessary. The work never stopped, trucks never stopped, except for weather. We see stories about the construction, but never about the maintenance. Thanks for sharing your travel, I am going later this month for my 4th trip, by cruise ship.
Wow that is fascinating! Thanks for sharing that! It seems like a big undertaking every year to keep this road safe! Thanks for watching, Curt! We hope you have a great trip!
Excellent video guys. Planning to travel through BC to Alaska for camping sometime in this year with my son. Your video and guidance will definitely help us plan our road trip along the Alaska highway. Thank you for sharing

Looks like you have heard!
I was just going to ask. Glad it doesn’t ruin your trip back. Enjoy the videos!
We did the Cassier hwy on our return. Beautiful
The road wash was caused by a very Canadian thing. The breaking of an 80 year beaver 🦫 dam believe it or not.
Great Vid! Did you have to get the Vaxx to travel through or in CA?

It’s a great spot! Both Dawson Creek and Beans and Barley!

Sad to see you eating pigs who are highly emotional and intelligent loving beings that live lives of intense suffering and fear for their flesh
Thank you for stopping to show us the nature along the way. I’ve never seen caribou before! The hot springs scene was like the story of Goldilocks and the three bears. 😂
Haha I thought that as well! Gotta find the water temperature that’s juuuust right! The wildlife was incredible. Even better in the next video!
It's so amazing....the scenery is really very mesmerizing...
Beautiful lake...the mountains are so enchanting...
It's a very worthy place to visit...
Yes indeed! It’s an amazing place!
10 years ago i did Anchorage to Fairbanks.......Alaskan Highways are truly Engineering Marvel.
Yes it is!
I was thinking of you guys the other day when I heard about the Alaska Highway collapse. You must have just missed that! I love seeing all the wildlife!

Good call on not getting too close to the water at Smith River Falls. That water was MOVING! Safe fun is good fun.

The hot springs were so relaxing and the food was super delicious!
Wow, gorgeous territory, raging rivers, hot springs, wild life, it's all there!!
Yes indeed! We would make this drive many more times!
Every time a bug gets smashed on your wind shield just tell it: I bet you don't have the guts to do that again. Yee-Haa!! North to Alaska!
haha darn bugs and their dang guts! Wahoooo!
Brings back memories of our trip in 2015. Drove our 24 ft motorhome from NC to Alaska for our retirement trip. It's a once in a lifetime adventure.
You got that right! Thanks for watching!
The one and only word to describe how truly beautiful all this nature is: WOW
You got that right!
It's cool to see this! I live in Dawson Creek and infact a block away from beans and barley haha. Drive by it everyday!
Haha, I know where you live now. I knew you guys from Bethel Church.
As someone who lives in Dawson Creek, this was so cool to watch. Can confirm, lots of bugs in the town. Windshields be looking like that commonly 😅
We tried to take out as many bugs as we could! 😂 Dawson Creek was a fun little stop,. Thanks for watching!
Love the excitement you two have for all your adventures as well as the fun you create on your drives. So far there are bears, buffalo, caribou, bighorn sheep, and a porcupine. Thanks for sharing.

We are happy and thankful we can share! We work hard on these videos and it makes us happy to hear they are so appreciated!
We always carry bear spray with us in bear country! Gotta stay alert and make noise too!
So good to see the highway adventures. My mom lived at Summit Lake as a kid. Drove that road so many times as a kid and adult. thanks for the memories!
We're happy we can share! Thanks for watching!
What was your moms name, I might have known her.

I admire your bravery, hiking in such a remote area, especially after seeing all of those bears! Everything looks so beautiful. My husband was stationed in Alaska in the Air Force, but I have never been. We are planning to drive there in the next few years🤞, so your videos are very helpful!
Ya we get nervous, but as long as we are alert, make noise, and know what to do when we encounter a bear we'll be alright! We hope you can go! We plan on creating lots of written content on our website from our journey this year so hopefully that will be helpful as well!
When I drove through on the Alcan hwy, I think I said "This is the most beautiful place" 100s of times!!! Loving your vlog!
It’s such an amazing journey! We feel the same! Thanks for watching!
The way to Alaska is a heaven on Earth!
It was amazing!
This was honestly so cool to see. I live In Dawson Creek and always see people taking photos at the Alaska highway sign. Nice to see it on UA-cam
Ikr. It's so weird thinking Dawson is somewhat popular lol. It's always just been home, and never thought that it was a place for tourists lol.
The town and sign have pretty big historical significance! It was a fun stop!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I live in Dawson Creek as well. (Mile 0 of Alaska Hiway) I'm halfway thru this video and it is epic so far! The drive to Liard is so beautiful!!!
@@AdventuresofAplusK LOVED your reactions to Muncho Lake's color :)
Love love love your Alaska videos! I’ve been taking notes as I’m planning our Arctic Circle road trip next year! Going to drive the alaskan highway to get there so I’m saving every spot you guys stopped at along the route 😍 Thank you for all the amazing info you provide!
That’s awesome! You’re going to love it! Stay tuned for a future video featuring the Arctic Circle and beyond! We’ll also have tons of guides and itineraries on our website over the holidays for everywhere we visited! We’re glad our videos are helpful and thanks for watching!
No doubt that you two wake up most days & pinch yourselves that this is your life!🌻Always grateful for these vlogs that allow me to come along for the ride!❤️Can’t wait to see what’s around the bend! 🌈 Hugs to Kona.🥰
We are extremely lucky and thankful for what we get to do every day! We're happy we can share!
We're also thankful it connects us with awesome people like you! Thank you for your comments and for watching!
thank you for sharing your epic adventure. beautiful scenery and wild life. enjoy Alaska
Thanks and thanks for watching, Rudy!
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ADVENTURE. IT HAS BEEN A LIFE LONG DREAM OF MINE TO GO SPEND TIME IN ALASKA.. THIS SPRING IM BUYING 20 ACRES IN NORTH IDAHO, A 5TH WHEEL TO DRIVE UP THERE. I PLAN ON 3 MONTHS EVERY YR. TO TRAVEL THIS COUNTRY AND SEE ALL THE NATIONAL PARKS... CARRY ON ADVENTURING... I WILL ALSO SEE BANFF AND CANADA AND 3 MONTHS IN ALASKA
Wow that is nice! We are envious of your purchase! Safe travels to you! Banff is an incredible place!
Amazing Amazing and so beautiful!!! We are sure the best is yet to come!!! We can't wait!!!!
It gets better and better!
The hot springs were such a Goldilocks moment - glad you found the perfect temperature. Such a nice treat! Beautiful footage as always.
Yes it was! 😂
Thank you and thanks for watching!
The scenery is spectacular! !! This is a fantastic trip for you both. Stay safe and continue to explore. 🥰🌻🐕🇺🇸
Thank you!
New videos from you guys are the highlight of my week! My son and I love anticipating a "pillowy" comment about whatever yummy thing you are eating each week. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
Aw that makes us so happy to hear! We are thankful and lucky we can share and it makes our day to read comments like yours! Thank you!
Congrats. My bucket list dream one day. I did drive a portion of the Alaska Highway from/to Delta Junction in June 2017 and 19. I have driven and conquered both the Dalton and Dempster Hwys in June 2019. The wildest and most fun road adventures of my life.
Awesome! We’re going to drive the Dempster when we leave Alaska. I’m a little nervous about it, but it should be a ton of fun!
You guys keep getting these *epic* campsites. Ever since Vancouver Island. They are picture-perfect!
There are tons and tons of these epic campsite all over BC and the Yukon! Sometimes it’s hard to choose!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Wow, awesome! An unspoiled camping paradise.
We just came back from a trip on the Alaska highway! Enjoying reliving so many of the places we stopped at! We didn't go all the way into mainland Alaska. At Whitehorse we went down the Klondike highway into skagway, took a ferry into Haines, drove the Haines highway until we got to the Stewart cassiar highway and took that road all the way down. Was amazing!
That sounds like an awesome trip! We’ll drive back the Cassiar Highway on our return trip. Thanks for watching!
Made that journey in 1974 when the entire highway was dirt. I spent the summer in Soldatna and the Keni. Beautiful trip.
That would be quite the experience! We loved the Kenai!
Wow wow wow, that's awesome. Absolutely beautiful. So happy for you guys and for taking me along. Love your excitement. Be safe 🙏
We're happy and thankful we can share! Thanks so much for watching, Darlene!
You guys seem to outdo yourselves each time. Of course the wilderness landscapes here play a big role. Mungo Lake was breathtaking . Whirlpool canyon really unique. Caribou and bighorn sheep sightings a special treat.😀
The wilderness, wildlife, and mountains never get old for us! Thank you so much, Stephen!
What a beautiful adventure. I am so jealous. Someday I want to drive the Alaska Highway. I am so excited watching the adventure.
We hope you can! It was incredible!
What scenery! This is my kind of trip. Live it up guys! 👍
It's been an amazing trip!
Lovely scenery on your trips , we love watching your videos !
Thank you and thanks for watchinng!
Two more days of my health recovery at home, I'm binge watching UA-cams such as this channel. The backcountry space and air there must be refreshing from the big city..
We hope you get well soon! We love being out on the road!
We enjoyed your trip a lot. Well done. Our last big trip was 12 years ago from San Pedro CA to Homer and Farbanks. We will never forget it.
Awesome! We’re having a great time up here in Alaska! Trip of a lifetime!
Ive lived in dawson creek for the last 9 years. Decent place and lots of tourism, definitely a beautiful drive aswell
We enjoyed our small time there. Thanks for watching!
It was so fun to see you guys so excited; put a smile on my face! My husband watched this one and last weeks video and enjoyed it, too! I never tire of seeing the coffee shops you visit!
We are having a ball! We love sharing the cool coffee shops we come across! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for visiting Dawson Creek and adding us in your video! Happy travels!
It's an important spot! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Your finally there! This has been a long time coming!! Can’t wait to see where to go in Alaska!
Wahoo! We're excited to share the journey!
awesome! loving this grand adventure! looks like you're loving everything about the trip... as you should be! the views look epic and the adventure spectacular!
Yes we are! It’s been amazing!
I watched last night, and I re-watched this morning. Such great scenery and wildlife. Looking forward to the Yukon leg of the journey.
Thanks, Eric! We're excited to share the next leg of the journey!
Love your attitude on the weather! Seeing the silver lining even in the fog! Good for you!
Oh ya! Weather doesn't stop us! 😊
Thanks for watching, Paula!
The big dig in Boston took 20+ year, basically just a tunnel. Those soldiers and civilians did a great job.
It is very impressive!
I love how you serenade the bears!! You definitely have fun - it's great to see. When we were in Yellowstone two years ago, we were calling out "Yo Bears," and my daughter who was two at the time starting calling out, "Go Squirrels!" It's a family joke now. So if you hear a family on your adventures calling "Go Squirrels," stop and say hi, that'll be us! And if we hear someone singing to the bears, we'll know it's you! :)
haha that's awesome! We love talking and singing to the wildlife! We'll keep our ears out for "Go Squirrels"! Thanks!
What a great lake surrounded by snow it's a great time to go swimming.
The Cobb bowl looked amazing! Thanks for the video - it shows the ruggedness of that part of the country!
It was delicious! It is rugged and beautiful up there
Brings back memories. I have driven that the road many times. The first time was in 1973 when there was about 900 miles of dirt.
Wow! It sounds like it was a much different experience back then!
I’m going to Alaska in June, 2023 in a 15 rv guided caravan. I’m really enjoying your videos to make my plans. My tour will be 60 days meeting up in Dawson creek.
Wow that’s going to be a ton of fun! We’re glad we could help in any way!
The mountains are amazing! 🌄
Superb quality video, amazing adventure to Alaska ! So far away, beautiful episode filming 🎥 again .I really enjoyed to watch, so wilderness, no people on the road. It's so fascinating to see everything. Incredible spectacular scenery. Many thanks .
Thank you so much!
WOW! British Columbia is so amazingly beautiful! 😍 I hope to explore my own province in the future! I was in the Yukon last March, and would love to visit Alaska too. Thanks for this wonderful video. Very well done! 😃👍🏾
They don’t call it beautiful British Columbia for nothing! Thanks and thanks for watching!
I got behind on your videos this summer because I was off on my own 2-month Utah adventure with limited internet and cell access (with many of my stops inspired by your videos from last year!), so I am just now starting to catch up. If these first Canada videos are any indication, it looks like you have had an absolutely amazing adventure this summer. I can't wait to see all of your Alaska experiences! As always, truly top quality videography on display here!
We’re glad to hear you had a great trip! That’s the best things we can hear when people find our videos and tips helpful! Thanks, Michael!
That cobb salad was very northern European of you. I feel like when I go to places like Germany, Poland etc. have lots of cheese, meats and veggies for brekkie. I can't believe how little I knew of the Alaska highway. Had no idea that up until WW2 there was no road link, or the agreement with Canada. What was the animal at 11:55, I couldn't quite tell from its butt! 🤣 I've been loving all of the wild life you've shared with us in this clip from the bison and bears to the caribou. Laughed when you guys were like, this is the first time we've seen them then immediately afterwards you hiked with more. The hot springs were amazing and a real surprise, would never have guessed they were there! Those river shots at the end were immense. I thought when you guys went to the waters edge it was scarily dangerous, but then Whirlpool Canyon was something else! Such a gorgeous and really calming video this one ❤️
Thanks for commenting on the date of the filming. Loved the scenery. That cinnamon bun looked incredible. Thank you for another great video.
We are glad the date added some context! The cinnamon bun was delightful! Thanks for watching!
Y’all made it!! I’m so excited for you guys can’t wait too see more!!!!
We're excited to share the next leg of the journey! It's been a blast!
Hey guys, your taco 🌮 troll here! We left Tucson on May 1 and hit Dawson Creek today. Thank you for the inspiration! ALCAN starts tomorrow. I seem to recall it's gets harder to find good tacos until we get to Homer...you two are awesome..keep it up!
We're so pumped for you! Have a great time! Definitely not many taco spots to be found along the way
Great video! Love your thoughts, impressions and comments. Much better than watching videos with only music. Well done!!
Thank you! We’re glad you like it, Edward! Thanks for watching
Voted most wholesome van life content online.
👍
Loved the video. We drove up from Alabama with our 5th wheel in 2012 and 2018. We enjoyed reliving it through your video. We want to go back a 3rd time but we will be driving a van or class c so we can stay in some out of the way places. Thanks can't wait to see the other videos!
This is definitely a trip we’ll be making many times also! Thanks for watching!
Loved all the beauty…I can’t wait to see how much more beautiful it gets because this was really awesome! That cinnamon roll was ridiculous…😋🤤. Loved all the driving dance moves and Kathryn’s comment to Adam, “what are you doing?” Haha! The hot springs looked so relaxing no wonder you stayed so long. And, Kona had a lot of time in the video which you know gamma loves❣️ Keep traveling safe and know that you are awesome and no one can take that away from you! 😘❤️❤️❤️🐶🥰
Ya never know what you're going to get when the music starts playing and we start dancing! 😂
The cinnamon roll was super super good, but it didn't beat the holiday monkey bread! 🐵
This section of the road was gorgeous, but it gets even better, believe it or not!
What a stunning stretch of hwy in this video. Thanks for sharing
It was amazing!
What an amazing video! Absolutely breathtaking landscapes. Kona is living her best life ever. I particularly loved the sound of the ice in the water making like a tinkling sound, epic. Drive safe.
Kona loves the water, snow, and any adventure! She's a definite adventure dog! The ice made a really cool sound! Thanks, Wendy!
Just made it to northern Rocky Lodge Muncho Lake today. Celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. We went here for our honeymoon. We stopped this morning at Tesla River Lodge. Yup best cinnamon bun ever. Thanks for the tip. (14 crows, a baby elk alone , and a male elk full rack) you got us beat on different animals lol
Congrats on your wedding anniversary! We hope y'all are having a great trip!
Wonderful video!! Brings back great memories of the 6 trips I had with my parents. Last one being in 1988. We used a pick up truck with a homemade camper shell. The Alcan was gravel road at that time. Lots of construction too!! Met great people along the way. Would love to go back and experience it again! Watching your videos is awesome!! Thank you for sharing!! Enjoy your adventures!!🤩
We're thankful most of the road is paved now! We though it was in great condition the entire way! We know we'll be driving it many more times also.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
So awesome!! Liard hot springs has been on my bucket list for a while!! Love the dancing in the car clip!!!
Liard River Hot Springs was a big bucket list item for us too!
Nice trip. I live not far from the mile zero post. Been as far as Fort Nelson. Have a safe and enjoyable experience. 🇨🇦😊👍
We loved our drive up the Alcan! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Just gorgeous! Glad to hear you are coming back on the Cassiar! It will take a bit to fix the road but they will get it done as quick as they can hopefully. The view have been spectacular in this video!
Ya thankfully it didn't affect us and won't on the way back!
Some great scenery. Glad the fog and clouds cleared so you were able to do that hike and see the mountains around you. You can also see tufa at Mono Lake, California, just east of Yosemite. Was the road paved the entire way (other than areas that were undergoing repair)?
We've been really fortunate with the weather so far! Hopefully it stays that way!
We can't wait to go back to Yosemite one day and get out in the Eastern Sierras!
The road has been mostly paved. Only some short sections of gravel. There are a few areas under construction though, but nothing crazy! We've learned there's two seasons up North....winter and construction season!
@@AdventuresofAplusK As a native Midwesterner, I can confirm. Winter and Road Construction. Also, the mosquito is the State Bird of many midwestern states.
I love Yosemite in California, grew up there.
Your van is so tidy! I've always admired that about you guys. That hike was amazing!! The views are incredible! Enjoy that beautiful drive!
Thank you! It's really easy to let it get messy! And once it gets messy it gets overwhelming so we try to put things away as quickly as we can! Thanks, Hannah!
Saw your IG story … delete those types of comments and move away from them. Your community - including me - are big fans of who you are. Absolutely wonderful people!
I’m off to watch the video - the best way to spend a rainy Wisconsin afternoon, dreaming of Alaska!
Unfortunately these comments always seem to come from our community. We ignore and block people often, but we also believe it’s important to set boundaries and make it clear that we do not tolerate being treated this way. We can’t expect change without speaking out and standing up for ourselves!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Totally agree! My intent was really to provide a show of support to you. I’m a huge fan of just who you are and the content you are creating. Hoping some positives and appreciation will help offset the other stuff.
@@karawhittow5425 we appreciate the support!
It is a beautiful place the yukon I grew up at Creek Creek the first stop in the Yukon.
45 miles south of watson lake.looks like you guys had a great time.
Excellent guys, continued fun and safe travels!
Thanks, Peter!
I just love your channel! Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures.
Thanks, Phil! Thanks for watching!
Your trip brings back good memories of my trips to Alaska. I like Muncho Lake and your camp site looks a lot line the last one I used. The road along the lake was put in after the original road which ran above the lake on the hill side. Many fatal accidents happened in the winter with trucks sliding off the cliff. I met a man that ran a road grader on the alcan during the war years, summer and winter. He had 100 miles to grade, stops along the way for fuel, food repairs etc. every 10 miles, summer and winter, Then turn around and work back. This was repeated all along the road. Crews also repaird the road as necessary. The work never stopped, trucks never stopped, except for weather. We see stories about the construction, but never about the maintenance. Thanks for sharing your travel, I am going later this month for my 4th trip, by cruise ship.
Wow that is fascinating! Thanks for sharing that!
It seems like a big undertaking every year to keep this road safe!
Thanks for watching, Curt! We hope you have a great trip!
Excellent video guys. Planning to travel through BC to Alaska for camping sometime in this year with my son. Your video and guidance will definitely help us plan our road trip along the Alaska highway. Thank you for sharing
Check out our website as well. We have a full guide to the Alaska Highway that is much more detailed than our videos can be!

I did this trip in the ‘60s with my family. Back then it was a gravel road. Nice video!
I bet it was a much different experience! We've got it easy now! Thanks and thanks for watching!
