Road to Muncho Lake


 
We are now on the Alaska Highway, continuing our adventure of this summer.  Shortly after we leave Dawson Creek, we come across some great views….

 
Our first bear!!  I know, we actually have seen a couple so far, but this is the first on the Alaska Highway, and that makes him special somehow!  Anyway, altho he raced across the road, we had to really apply our brakes to stop in time (we could smell our brakes).  Above is the view of him with the highway in view, and below, it’s all him!

 

 
There were some great views along the highway.  Oh, and I apologize in advance for the quality of some of the images.  They were all taken at speed (between 50 – 60 mph roughly) and thru the windshield.  Just follow the winding road….

 
Now, you can’t really tell by this image, but we were starting a pretty steep decline.  We came around the bend and saw this, and both Jeff & I said “Wow” – me because of the beauty of all the textures on the side of the canyon…..Jeff because of the beautiful view, but also because of the curve of the road coupled with the decline angle!  I processed this with my HDR software, just to give you a more realistic image of what it truly looked like!

 
I really love how blue the water was in this river, and couldn’t help but include this image to illustrate how wonderfully beautiful the drive was!
Enjoy!
