The ALCAN: A North American Safari

July 01, 2015  •  Leave a Comment

​I really enjoy road trips, so when we moved from Virginia to Alaska, I got out some maps and made sure the Alaska-Canada Highway (ALCAN) was part of our route.  We could have driven to Bellingham, Washington and taken the Alaska Marine Highway System ferries to Haines, but the ALCAN seemed like a fun adventure.

 

The wildlife viewing opportunities were amazing.  We encountered bears, moose, caribou, sheep, and a herd of buffaloes.  It's probably the closest one can come to a North American safari.  The scenery wasn't too shabby either.  Here are a few images;  I hope to get back to photograph more.
