Alcan - we meet again!

For the third time thus far I was able to drive the Alaska - Canada Highway! It is beautiful but what a different trip this time. We slept in the car every night - sorry Benji the first night I picked a terrible place and we were woken up by these loud groups of people that we were afraid were going to steal something from the back of the truck). But of course once we got into Canada first chance we got we bought ourselves some Wonderbars, this same gas station said they didn't have these back in April - lame.


We just drove through the day and it was beautiful - luckily we only went 65 mph so that the car wouldn't break down again and we got great gas mileage but this FAKE cop car cut out did give us quite the scare still. We had to turn around to get a picture!




Of course we saw lots of animals on the way





We finally got to milepost zero


And in quite the oppostie of last year when it was warm and beautiful most of the way down - this time we hit snow!

The waterfall was pretty but freezing!


The Columbia Icefield wasn't as beautiful because there wasn't really a contrast in the landscape.


And Lake Louise was all clouded in, I tried to describe it for them but they promised they'd come back too.

But even so the trip was still completely beautiful and we were blessed to have the opportunity to drive it yet again!
