Gone to See North America Road Trip. Day 11: Haines Highway. British Columbia and Yukon Territory, Canada.
In order to get from Haines to Anchorage by road in Alaska you have to travel the Haines Highway through British Columbia, and Yukon Territory in Canada. As you pass through the Canadian border, they check to make sure you are not transporting any guns or knives. I stopped along the road several times to get panoramic images of the late summer landscape. The first two in British Columbia (probably toward Tatshenshini-Alsek Park). The third one was along the southern shore of Kluane Lake in Yukon. I spent the night at a RV park in Burwash Landing further north along the lake.
