We just completed another journey up the famous Alaska Highway after picking up our new Chevy Silverado 1500 in Kellogg Idaho. Again I wonder, where are all the people? Beginning in Dawson Creek, BC, the lack of motorhome traffic heading to Alaska was very evident.
In Dawson Creek, the RV parks were very busy but the folks staying there were mainly gas field workers along with some travelers in rental motorhomes driving the scenic loop that exits the Alaska Highway outside of Watson Lake and heads south on the Cassiar Highway and back to the beautiful Yellowhead Highway.
But as for all those travelers heading to Alaska for the summer, well, their just wasn't any. We met a total of two other vehicles headed to Alaska for vacatiion during our 3200 mile drive this spring. We started our journey in Northern Idaho on June 15, 2011 and landed in Kenai on June 18, 2011. This should have been the peak of the Northern Trek when the highways were crawling with RV's polking there way along as travelers were in awe with the beauty of this drive.
Helmcken Falls in Wells Gray Park is a must stop if you find yourself northbound on Canadian Highway 5, The Southern Yellowhead Highway.
Additional Photos from the drive can be view on Twitpic.
