Alaska and Canada Trip 2016
In 2016, we completed a 5 month trip (May 12 – October 9) through Alaska and Canada. This was our longest RV trip to date. Alaska and Western Canada were beautiful and offered lots of adventures including wildlife watching, hiking, fishing, visiting glaciers, kayaking, and biking. We also learned about the rich history and culture of Alaska and the people who have lived there. We traveled in our RV with our cat Foxy. Our route included traveling through Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon Territory in Canada. We made the decision and started planning for this Alaska Trip about a year ahead of our departure.
