(2018 Alaska Ep 24)
On June 15 we continued northwest on the Alaska Highway. Our destination was Liard Hot Springs Provincial Park, a must see and do for anyone driving the Alaska Highway.
We crossed valleys framed by majestic snow-covered mountains and skirted lakes that were an amazing shade of blue. These satisfied our beautiful-view expectations of the Alaska Highway!
The Milepost (a mile-by-mile guide to the Alaska and other area highways) suggested a stop at Tetsa River RV Park to sample their world famous cinnamon buns. The small campground store was busy as travelers bought buns and coffee. We ate ours outside as the owners’ dog eyed us wishfully. Sorry, boy, not this time…
We decided to stop early at a campground on the shore of Muncho Lake (RabbiTRAILS Alaska Map, pt #31), and to make a day trip the following day to the hot springs. We got one of three remaining sites in the campground and were glad we decided to stop when we learned the Liard Hot Springs Campground was already full.
Critter Count Day 2 (Fort Nelson to Muncho Lake)
- black bear – 5
- deer – 2
- stone sheep – 5
We declared the bears to be the day’s victor – each bear was seen at a different time. The stone sheep were all in one group.
Take the LONG Road...
