Alaska Border to US Border
When I left Valdez, Alaska, I drove almost to the Yukon border and boondocked in a little nondescript area off the highway. When I awoke the next morning, the sky seemed overcast but was unusual. Soon I approached the Canadian border. While talking to the agent there, he informed me that Alberta had a lot…

Valdez, Alaska
When I started my journey to Alaska, my goal was to get to Valdez, Alaska. I had heard that it was so beautiful there. I didn’t plan on going past Valdez as I have been to Alaska several time in the past. During those visits, I have been to Anchorage, Fairbanks and Nome. I have…

Haines, Alaska
While in Skagway, I saw there was an opening last minute for the ferry to Haines, Alaska, on the day I wanted to leave Skagway. It cost $65 to ride the ferry; however, it would have taken me 6.5 hours to drive there. I’m sure I would have spent a lot more on fuel. As…

Skagway, Alaska
My drive from the Alaska border to Skagway had a few sights along the way. A beautiful waterfall was right next to the road. And I saw a caribou! This guy seemed pretty lean. Hopefully he fattens up before the rut. My first stop in Alaska was Skagway. This is a gold mining town from…

Liard Springs BC to the Alaska Border
My next destination after leaving Muncho Lake was Liard Springs BC. I had heard about this place from several people I had encountered while traveling. Everyone had glowing reviews for this place. I have to agree with them. This place was amazing! I love visiting hot springs. Soaking in the hot water feels so good…

I felt like I had climbed all the way to Dawson Creek. Well, I wasn’t done climbing yet. I feel like I continued…

Vancouver to Mile 0 of the Alaskan Highway
After my wonderful visit with my friend Dia in Vancouver, it was time to head north again. I was sad to see her leave but excited to continue my adventure. My first stop was at the last rainforest I would see until I reached the Alaskan coast. I hiked a beautiful trail. It was a…

Touring Vancouver BC Canada
I crossed the border at Bellingham, Washington, which is right below Vancouver. Due to the current political climate between the US and Canada, I had a difficult time crossing the border. They were determined to catch me with something. They first accused me of drinking and driving, then of hiding guns and then hiding money…

Pacific Beach, First Beach and Sol Duc Falls, Washington
I stayed one night at Pacific Beach. When I arrived in the evening, the beach didn’t look like much – just a plain, sandy beach. But the next morning, the beach came alive! There were people all over the beach digging holes. The tide was very low and it was a beautiful morning. So Maddie…

Let’s Skip the Boring Stuff!
and catch up to more current events… Once I was traveling along the Oregon coast, it just started raining and raining and raining. I needed to dry out! I’m a desert girl after all! So I headed east to the high desert of Oregon and Washington. Let’s just say it was beautiful but boring. But…
