A fast moving and informative account of an RV Road Trip to Alaska, Yukon, B.C., and the Northwest Territories. The destination is one of the world's last great wilderness areas, a region renowned for its spectacular mountains, abundant wildlife and stunning scenery. Along the way, the author and his wife experience this and so much more.
They expected Alaska to be a once in an lifetime experience, but had no idea at the time that the journey would also encompass a month living in a log cabin in the Yukon; driving the Dempster Highway, 458 miles (737kms) of gravel road through spectacular wilderness to Inuvik in the Northwest Territories; crossing the Arctic Circle; paddling a kayak down a portion of the historic Yukon river, and flying by small plane to an Inuvialuit (Eskimo) community on the Arctic Coast, but it did and much more besides. They thought it would take about two months, ultimately it took almost five.
The author's objective is to take you along for the ride, to experience the thrill of a 10,000 mile Alaska road trip; to see the wildlife in all it's glory; to meet interesting characters along the way; dip a toe in the Arctic Ocean and thrill to the remote beauty of the unspoiled landscape. You will learn about the history of the Alaska Highway, the Klondike Gold Rush, the Mad Trapper of Rat River and The Lost Patrol of the Northwest Mounted Police. Included are accounts of kayak sailing and paddling on the pristine lakes and rivers of this fascinating part of the world.
The book includes maps, photographs and a useful information section covering the complete itinerary, including the Alaska Highway, Cassiar Highway and Dempster Highway, the distances driven and suggestions including recommended tires, vehicle servicing, health care and more. Whether you are an armchair traveler, or thinking of experiencing the trip for yourself, this book makes a great read and will provide a detailed insight into what awaits those adventurous enough to head north to Alaska "The last frontier".
