We drove the Alcan from Whitehorse, YT almost to Watson Lake, YT. We turned south on the Cassiar Highway, just before Watson Lake. The Cassiar Highway is beautiful with lots of mountain and lake and river views and it is a very infrequently traveled road. Grant though we weren’t going to get any pictures today, but the Cassiar Highway proved him wrong.
Be sure to see the picture of the sign entitled “South to Alaska”, “Hyder, AK 669 KM” ( 416 miles). Hyder is the town farthest to the South in Alaska that you can drive to. It is 2 miles from Stewart, BC. It is about 40 miles west of Cassiar Highway. We are going to go there tomorrow…
We saw a bear on the highway. He walked along the highway next to the truck for about 100 ft before turning off into the woods. We stopped at Jade City. 95% of the worlds’s jade comes from the Cassiar Mountains. I had to see some of the intricate jade carvings. We spent the night at Dease Lake, BC. The campground was full, but the owner let us park next to the house, where we had electric and water.
