From Dawson Creek, we made our way to Fort Nelson, which is at an elevation of 1300', the lowest elevation, at the Fort Nelson bridge.  Within 100 miles, we would go over a pass at 4250', the highest point on the ALCAN. 
   This was a pass that we had to cross after leaving Fort Nelson on our way to Muncho Lake for an overnight at the Northern Rockies RV Park.  It was a long climb.


                                                           

This is a picture of the first bear we saw.  Roberta figured we had traveled 1625 miles before we saw
one.  Since then we have seen many more.
                                                                                                                                                                                      
                                             
  











This is a picture of Summit Lake, the high point of the ALCAN.  It was still partially frozen, as was Muncho Lake, where we stayed

                                                                      Stone Sheep
We came upon these Stone Sheep along the road, and I took one picture of a moose, that didn't want to be photographed.

 This is my moose picture.

                                                                        Muncho Lake RV Park.
This lodge and RV park was a nice place to stay.  They are off the grid and use generators to operate the camp.  In the summer, there is a turbine Otter and a Cessna 206 on floats that operate flight seeing trips from here.
