05/10/19 - Past Haines Junction, Yukon




We're slowly getting closer to Alaska...

Continental Divide


Nisutlin Bay Bridge, the second longest water span on the Alaska Highway at 1917 feet/584 m.


We missed the Petro Canada station at Whitehorse, so trying to look up for truck stops on Trucker App I found one in Canyon. It’s a really small station and Curt wasn’t sure if he should fill there or just go on to Haines Junction. We knew there were some there, but without cell service couldn’t look anything up.  He put in a little bit and then we went on to Haines Junction and filled at Fas Gas. The small station charged $1.478/liter (Canadian money) and at Haines Junction it was $1.449/liter (Canadian)


We stopped at the Yukon Visitor Center which also shares the building with the Kluane National Park Service. There was no one at the National Park desk but we were able to get information from the Yukon Visitor Center ladies and I got some park stamps.



Kluane Icefields

Thachal Dhal Visitor Center was closed, but we stopped at the entrance and saw lots of Dall sheep on the mountain. It was really windy there, and dust blowing like crazy.



World’d largest gold pan

We stopped at a turnout for the night.

We saw a bald eagle, 2 rabbits, 2 moose (1 really close-up on the highway) and 2 porcupines.
