Winter on the Alaska Hwy - 01/10/14
or as some refer to it, the Alcan.
My wife has taken a 4 month internship in Whitehorse, YT, as part of her Masters degree, so on December 28 we left south Vancouver Island and I drove her up to Whitehorse. December 30 found us leaving Ft Nelson in -23C (-16F) and blowing snow for the ~1000km/600 mile drive to Whitehorse. Quite a few critters encountered on the way up, especially between Muncho Lake and Watson Lake. Hel had never seen a bison before but now she understands why I didn't want to drive that section at night- these "northern speed bumps" like to congregate on the hwy.
A few pics from the trip:
