Canada And Alaska Travel Advice
G'day,
Myself and 2-3 others are heading to Canada and Alaska around July-August for a month from Australia. What we want to know is where to go, what to do and see? We will be travelling from Vancouver up the west coast up to Alaska (no destination as yet) by car. Cheers! Luke. |

Canada And Alaska Travel Advice
Go to Google's "Advanced Groups Search", fill in the name of this
group and ask it to search for the words "Alaska", "Canada", "July", and "August". If, after reading the 136 information-laden posts you are still thirsting for information, delete from the search "July" and "August" to get 4,660 information-laden posts. If, after reading those, you have any _specific_ questions, many here will happily help. (Luke) wrote in message . com...

Canada And Alaska Travel Advice
In article ,
says... Actually, you can get a bit closer to the coast, at least closer than the Alaska Hwy., by taking the Cassiar Hwy. north through B.C. to where it connects with the Alcan near Watson Lake. A few small roads lead off the Cassiar to connect with coastal towns like Bella Coola, Prine Rupert and Stewart. The Cassiar still retains a more remote feel than the Alcan, and gets less traffic (but more truck traffic). With a month you could easily drive up the Cassiar, connect with the Alcan, see Alaska and the Yukon, then head back down the Alcan to Montana (see Glacier and Yellowstone national parks) and back to Vancouver. It would be a lot of driving, but you'd see some beautiful country. The road to Bella Coola takes off from the Cariboo Highway (at Williams Lake), not the Cassiar Highway. You'd do well to get a copy of the Milepost (http://www.themilepost.com). It's been _the_ travel guide for Alaska and northern Canada for 50+years. According to their website, the 2004 edition will be available March 1st. === Steve Shoreline, Washington USA 7 Jan 2004, 1949 PST |
