Driving Plan: Days 4 & 5 - Muncho and Kluane!
I start at Grande Prairie, Alberta on Tuesday morning, ending inside Muncho Lake Provincial Park in British Columbia, some 800+ kilometers away. Muncho Lake is a stunning location -- everything you would imagine an isolated glacial lake in the Canadian Rockies would look like. It's extremely isolated.
However, there's an awesome lodge there, called the Northern Rockies Lodge. It's a log structure with cabins and so forth -- just what you would expect deep into Alaska Highway territory. I stayed there in late February this year, during the drive down. I'd always wondered about the place but hadn't been inside before. Very nice, especially for the area. I'm excited to see it in the summer, with more light and more activity.
After Muncho Lake, on Wednesday I'll drive another 970 kilometers to Destruction Bay, Yukon Territory. This is on picturesque Kluane Lake. I assure you, it's a stunning setting, east of the massive Wrangell-St. Elias mountains and on a large Arctic lake. Be sure to check out the tons of Flickr photos for just a taste.
I'm hoping to get some wildlife and scenic photos along the way and will post to Flickr, probably once I'm back in Anchorage. Hopefully the weather and the animals cooperate.
