From Fort Nelson the Alaska highway climbs through the Canadian Rockies. We cross the highest peak at Summit Lake (elevation 4250 ft). Three large provincial parks are along the route.
We drove along Toad River and the shores of Muncho Lake...literally...there are no guard rails! Laird Hot Springs is the third park, but we didn't stop there.
This was our day for seeing wildlife...black and brown bears, caribou, stone sheep with lambs, and bison. All were wandering along the roads, or in the case of the bison, crossing the road in front of us.
Our destination that night was Coal River Lodge and RV. This was a 1940's style roadhouse with cafe, fuel, motel rooms & campground for tents & RV's. There was no phone or wi-fi service; the camp ran a generator to supply household power for the buildings and the 12 RV sites...we had to be careful how many electronic appliances we turned on at once! (FYI: this lodge is now for sale if anyone is looking for an investment opportunity...)
