I was 19 years old when I drove that road in January of 1975. I had a 1972 Jeep CJ -5 towing a 1957 16 foot teardrop trailer that was custom built for cold weather conditions because it was used by an engineer who worked on the highway in the late 1950's rebuilding the original wooden bridges into concrete. Back then there was no pavement except for in the large towns like Whitehorse. But we had a smooth ride because the road had, on average, 6 inches of ice and packed snow. There were stretches with ice that was translucent enough to see the gravel roadbed. I was smart enough to have bought brand new mud and snow tires that I had studded before the trip. Those studded tires saved our lives a couple of times on that trip. Not kidding. Your video was very nice and brought back fantastic memories. Thank you!
Beautiful, I drove it over 20 years ago, not much has changed, the scenery is breathtaking, cars few and far between, the roads always under repair. Loved the video.
So beautiful scenery over there S lots animals Landscape on the road really pretty....attractive mountain and wild....so beautiful weather ...look so fresh .
Awesome! My dream's to own a Lakehouse or Beach House and go Fishing every week. Heard Alaska shared their Oil Revenues not sure "if" they still doing that nowadays.. Back in my College days, they used to advertise Fishing Careers up in Alaska and offered free shelters and $3,000+/month for up to 4 months, that was back in the mid-late 90s
Very nice. I read every comments in this video. When I see snowy mountains, clean clear rivers and lonely woods reminds me of "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams". His friends Ben, Mad Jack and Nikoma.
I rode my motorcycle all up through there in summer 1990. Looks the same, saw moose running alongside the road, etc. Would like to go again, thanks for the look.
@@northboundwiththenielsens23 Thanks, the moose was a bit scary, it was a full grown bull running alongside the road right next to me. The thing was huge! I rode 6,000 miles alone and camped in a tent for a month, never saw a bear.
I have drove the Alcan 3 times in my life, 2X winter 1X summer, with the last drive a bit over 20 years ago and i still recognize about everything you filmed. That drive must be IMO the most beautiful in North America
My wife and I with 3 year old and 5 week old Daughters made the trip southbound from Anchorage beginning july 20, 1974 camping in canvas tent. We loved it, road was all Gravel or mix of local materials. Rainy weather the entire trip. Planning to do again hope it happens.
Very nicely put together road trip, I love those drives where you can take your time & really see the beauty around you, If i ever get caught up here on the acreage, I plan to make that trip next year if all goes well with all my plans this summer :) I live 100% off grid here so many things to do and making a plan for the for a trip like that has to start now so I can get away & not be rushed, hoping to make the trip last for at least 6 weeks, for now I just enjoy trips like your :)
I hope you get to go! It is definitely worth the trip. If you haven’t seen the Icefields Parkway, it is also an unbelievably scenic drive. We have a video on that one, too. Either one is worth the trip. I have never lived off-grid like that. That is amazing!
I made this trip myself many years ago. I dreaded the thought of driving back, so I stayed in Alaska for 13 years. The highway was much improved when I finally moved back to the lower 48.
As a boy, I went with my family up the highway. 1979. It was dynamited rock and gravel. Considerably slower journey. We loved it. The scenery brought back memories.
Muy bonito video como para los que nunca tendremos la oportunidad de conocer la naturaleza de otros paises se ve muy bonito todo y ver los animales en su habitad es lo mas imprecionante gracias por compartir algo que muchisimos nunca conoseremos en persona saludos desde jalisco mexico
Did the Alcan in 1981. Over 700 miles one way was gravel. Vehicles driving the other way throw rocks from tires. Muncho Lake area was my favorite spot. We stopped and rented a row boat . Water was blue beyond belief. The surrounding mountains were beautiful. Kluanee lake was great. We never drove at night so as not to miss anything. Thanks for reviving old memories. And yes, gravel was often smoother than pavement.
700 miles of gravel! Wow. They definitely have been working on it since then. We absolutely loved Muncho Lake, too! The color reminded me of Lake Louise in Banff National Park.
@@northboundwiththenielsens23 Muncho is very deep right next to the road. Don't miss a turn. Do you use the Milepost for reference along the highway? Great source of the Highway . Indispensable for travel on the AlCan. I still have mine from 1981. Full of info.
Your video is great, thank you for sharing the beauty of the places you visit, very inspiring, greetings are always healthy and successful for you my friend, 🙏☺🌹🌹👌

There are still a lot of seasonal summer jobs that offer dry cabins.
Very nice. I read every comments in this video. When I see snowy mountains, clean clear rivers and lonely woods reminds me of "The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams". His friends Ben, Mad Jack and Nikoma.
I remember Grizzly Adams!
Mulțumim pentru filmare și efortul depus sa vedem și noi lucruri noi frumoase 😀👍Dumnezeu sa va binecuvinteze 😀👍
God bless you, too!
So Beautiful indeed.
I rode my motorcycle all up through there in summer 1990. Looks the same, saw moose running alongside the road, etc. Would like to go again, thanks for the look.
Sounds dangerous on the roads with all the animals crossing. Glad you made it, and had fun!

Wonderful joy I get.

Lol. That is a good idea! Stay here in Alaska so long that the highway improves.
@@northboundwiththenielsens23 Seemed like the right thing to do at the time!😉
SANJU form INDIA 👍🙂
why did you move back to the lower 48? i'm dreaming of the day that i finally visit alaska.
@@DocRiprock I was nearing retirement and wanted to move back to where my family comes from.
Wow 😮 this place is always so beautiful 😍 Amazing and magnificent, too.😊 subscribing your channel ❤

We did not really have a resource. We just went for it, and stopped when there was an area to admire what we saw. Lol
WOW ! Nice view ! Enjoyed the drive ! Nice sharing ! Thank you !
Yes nice view
The adventurous aspect of mesmerizing journey.
My husband and I took the Alcan twenty years ago. What a great summer we had. Enjoy every moment.
