Grande Prairie, Dawson Creek, Toad River, Liard River Hot Springs Alaska Highway

Stayed at Wallmart in Grande Prairie

Alaska Highway scariest  road yet but beautiful








Check out the sign on the road, gravel patches were also common 



Tourist info very helpful


Check brake sign



Gas prices are crazy 156









There is a solar panel on the sign!



Car and Rv a bit dirty
This is one of our down moments we were not happy ... (long story basically too long on the road)

Things got better quickly we stayed in Toad River


I'm driving slow but steady



Muncho Lake


Ha Ha beware of Bison 







Road washes out often in the spring




Beautiful place Liard Hot Springs we loved it stayed 2 nights

Small falls on other side water continues down and narrows into a creek it goes from very hot to warm 





High moment happy!

This is the very hot area the challenge is to bring a stone up and place it on the rocks
 





Beautiful trail but closed due to a bear in the area

Map of park

Very inexpensive camping the hot springs costed 10$ for a day pass for the family and 11$ for the campsite love the picnic table.  Wish they would charge more and have supervision at the hot springs at night we were going to go at 10 o'clock but heard that there were some young people having a party up there so decided to pass

We baked a cake

Girls spelled there initials as I practice for the Northern Lights (just in case we see some)




Off to Watson Lake starting to understand signs :)


The bison sleep on the road with their heads down hence why there is so little traffic at night this is a bison patty on the roads there are lots of them

Bear



Hello there taking a stroll on the road




Stayed in Watson Lake Downtown campsite has internet, water and electricity but that is it we are in a field lined up like sardines off early tomorrow.  Provincial parks are 12$ a night in the Yukon going to see what they are like.



Pretty cool spot this is the Sign Post Forest in Watson Lake thanks Dave for making us the sign




Found a spot and hung it up






Northern Light Center went to the dome theater very cool


Off to Whitehorse
