  • I didn't picture this when starting our Alaska Highway drive. It was one of those nights you remember for the rest of your life. The most magical night on the Alaska Highway. I'm not even going to try to describe it here, you'll just have to watch to see what I mean.
    We start the video in Watson Lake at the Sign Post Forest, then travel the 5 hours to Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon. Then we travel an hour from Whitehorse, to the Haines Junction. And that is where the magical evening began with that beautiful light from the midnight sun. We travel yet another hour to Kluane Lake. And end the video at Destruction Bay.
    The Alaska Highway has had great roads so far! But that all changes in the next video 😳
    Please give this video a "like" if you enjoyed. And subscribe to follow our journey, we'd love to have you! Thanks for watching!

    Wildflower fields backdropped by snow capped mountains with the warm light of the midnight sun 🤯

      We still can’t believe it happened 🫢 thank you! UA-cam can be strange, pushing some channels out for more to see & others they just don’t. So it really means a lot 💛 glad to have you on this journey!

    Great videos! Somehow the Cassiar Highway video popped into my UA-cam feed, so I'm watching your whole Alaska series. When I was a kid I spent many summers in north-central British Columbia, and I've wanted to drive to Alaska and back since the 1970's when the Alcan was gravel and the Cassiar was just getting built. I think in the next few years I might actually make it happen even though my wife doesn't want to go along. I've watched quite a few other "drive to Alaska" videos and yours are very comfortable to watch - you edit so the trip goes at a nice pace.

      Thank you! Summer 2024 is as good a time as any to go to Alaska 😃 I like that it’s mostly paved now. We did the Dalton and McCarthy roads and the gravel gets old real quick. But the 70s was a cool time to be in Alaska with the pipeline being built and all. Hope you do the drive sooner than later!

      Yes! In July with the midnight sun when the flowers are blooming it’s so gorgeous. Not the same anymore as we were driving back. No more flowers and no more midnight sun 🥲

    Your videography is amazing with just the right amount of narration. You allowed the viewer to share your journey by what you were seeing and experiencing instead of forcing us to watch you narrate like so many UA-camrs. We are going to make the trip to Alaska in a couple years. Keep up the great videos and safe journey!

      That’s the Sign Post Forest in Watson Lake, Canada. Started in 1942 by a homesick American GI, he put up a sign of his hometown and people have been adding since 😃 thank you! There will be some more wild animals to come! Thanks for watching our journey! 🥰

    During these long rides do y’all just pull over anywhere to bed down for the night ? Or did you book camp grounds ?

    • @NickandJulie
      @NickandJulie  5 місяців тому

      We pulled over anywhere. We did not book campgrounds on this trip except in Jasper and Banff National Parks as it’s illegal to boondock there.

      We usually get between 10-14 mpg depending on the terrain & road condition. We have a diesel engine.
