This photo made the trip worth it…. A large 3ft tall Yukon Wolf. The first time we have seen a wolf up in this area. We feel very lucky to have spotted him as in all of the Yukon Territory there are only 5000 with a density of about 9 per 390 square miles.
This red fox walked right up to the RV door. He posed for several minutes.
A spotted sandpiper and his reflection
Muncho Lake, one of our favorite places along the Alcan
Spotted they two female Moose as we were driving but couldn’t stop. Was final able to find a place to pull off and hiked back about a half mile and luckily they were still there
The forest floor along the Alcan is covered with a 12 to 18” thick layer of loose moss. It is really hard to walk over as you sink about 8”. Like walking in snow.
At Muncho lake took a hike along an original section of the Alcan (road had been rerouted around this section a few years after it had been built). Found lots of timbers like there that the army would have cut and placed as guard railing some 77 years ago. Building the 1500 mile road in 8 months was an unimaginable feat.

Fairly large black beer
Lots of Bison along the road. We found two large herds
Three generations of Bison
A Magnolia Warbler
Look like someone’s out tracking down birds!
Muncho is one of the best lakes for kayaking
When the sun is just right the lake is a deep blue-green because of the high copper content
Sunset at Muncho Lake… about 11:30 at night. It was still somewhat light at 12:15 am
Fireweed is along the road side
