Driving the Alaska Highway - North America’s Most ICONIC Road (Part 1)

Publicado 2024-07-03
Join us as we drive the Alaska Highway, a 1,400 mile road that stretches from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, through the Yukon and ending in Delta Junction, Alaska. On our road trip to Alaska, we pass some of the most epic landscapes in North America, have a few close animal encounters, and make some stops that are worth adding to your bucketlist.

    Cinnamon Bears are a sub species of the Black Bear. There is also an extremely rare sub species of Black bears, The Kermode Bear, which have white fur. Cinnamon Bears and Grizzlies have the same colouring but Grizzlies have big hump above the shoulders.
  • "Black" bears can be different colours, from black through brown to cinnamon. A "Brown" bear is a variety of grizzly. Looking forward to your next video!

  • @maybeebuzzy2265
    YAY. YT finally recommended you and I hopped right on. I follow lots of traveling couples and you two vibe right away. I'm so looking forward to watching your past travels and woo-hoo I have a new travelog to explore. Channels like yours really help armchair travelers like myself🥰
  • @lilbugr1462
    Just a heads up. When driving through sketchy weather and road conditions, NEVER use your cruise control.
  • @Thesaltymedic36
    Actually the fire fighters suit is not exactly correct. That’s an ARFF (aircraft rescue fire fighting) proximity suit. Based on that engine in the video the protective gear would have been leather and rubber and wool. Not sure if they had an airport there 😂
  • @maybeebuzzy2265
    16:40 love the "Fern Gully" feeling you experienced. I also appreciate you sharing your research. The Milepost is very comprehensive but maybe not as all-encompassing as it used to be. Things change so fast now-a-days. Geeze, I sound old eh? (P.S. next video I promise to take notes and limit myself to one comment at the end, I'm just a lil buzzy right now☺🌻🐝
  • @randygates7282
    Is this part of your Key West to Arctic trip? I see a Day 1. Also, are you traveling with your dogs now?
  • @oldgeeser
    I watched a video one time about several people that were killed by a Grizzley at Laird hot springs right on the board walk . terrifying . Good Luck.
  • @fnnnknorth
    Wow! Justin won the defined calves lottery. It’s mile blowing how nothing is between Fort Nelson and Liard Hotsprings. Starlink would be great.
  • Hello and going to do an Alaska trip. Do we need a passport to drive the Alaska highway. What is the best month to leave Ohio . We plan on moving slow.
