Cassiar Highway Road Trip Planner: Drive Beautiful BC

Posted on by Posted in British Columbia, Canada, Great Drives and Car Pics, Road Trip Planners, Road Trips 23 Comments

Most Americans that make the long drive through Canada to Alaska use the Al-Can Highway going both directions, to me that’s just plain crazy talk. If you’re going to take a long road trip like that, the least you can do is mix it up a bit!

When we took our road trip from Florida to Alaska we made sure to find an alternate route back, and in doing so enjoyed some of the finest scenery one could ask for. We took the lesser known Cassiar Highway and had the opportunity to drive through beautiful British Columbia.

Visiting the Pacific Northwest | Vancouver, BC | Portland, OR | Road Trip Update

Posted on by Posted in British Columbia, Canada, Key West to Dead Horse, Oregon, Portland, Vancouver 2 Comments

After spending weeks in the remote portions of Canada and Alaska we both welcomed a few days of city life. Don’t get me wrong, we both love nature and all, but we hadn’t been to a major city in weeks! We decided to solve this road trip dilema by visiting the Pacific Northwest.  We spent a few days in Vancouver, BC before we left Canada and made our way to Portland, OR.  We spent a total of 4-nights in the area and had a wonderful time exploring two new cities and experiencing the city life.

Photographs of Baby Grey Wolf in Canada

Posted on by Posted in Canada, Critter Corner 8 Comments

We came across this baby grey wolf while traveling through the Canadian countryside. He was so cute that I made Kenin make a sharp u-turn so I could get some photographs. He was quite the model and stood there in all his glory so I could get these shots. :) Zoe barked at him a few times and he never barked back. He was extremely well-behaved! I wanted to keep him but Kenin said I would have to trade one of ours for him since they wouldn’t all fit in the car. From here on out, Zoe and Punkin are on a diet so we can fit more pets in the car :D

Road Trip Route Tok, AK to Vancouver, BC along the Cassiar & Trans-Canada Highway

After touring the majority of Alaska, it was time for us to take our road trip South and back to the lower 48 states. We didn’t want to take the Alaskan Highway all the way back trough the Eastern Side of the Rockies and repeat our trip North so we decided to take the Cassiar Highway along the western Rockies and through BC instead. It was an amazing 1863 mile trip over a period 5 days that took us from Tok, Alaksa through the entirety of British Columbia  and ending in beautiful Vancouver BC.
