Fort Nelson

Caravan Stop #2 – 282 miles: Tripple G Hideaway Park & Campground. Lots of amenities including a restaurant and saloon.

We visited the Fort Nelson Heritage Museum, where Marl Brown wanted to save the history of the area and the building of the highway. Lots of old cars and equipment in 7 buildings. Very much worth a visit if you make this trip.

A bit crazy, but we were only there for 2 nights / 1 full day, and neither Pam or I took almost no pictures. We were busy provisioning and doing chores.

Caravan Starts in Dawson Creek

July 12, 2026 / / 0 Comments

Caravan Stop #1: The caravan officially started on July 12th at Northern Lights RV in Dawson, Creek which is the start of the Alaskan Highway – Mile Zero. A very nice full service campground. On site restaurant and very clean.

The Alaskan Highway was built in 9 months during WWIII. Amazing effort to build this 1,700 mile road and all the bridges needed. Wow.

Pam and I had breakfast at Don’s Diner which is in the Airport. The food was outstanding and huge portions. We watched 2 helicopters take off and land.

We had dinner at the George Dawson Inn restaurant and Makenna from the visitor center gave a highly energetic presentation on the town and the Alaskan Highway. She also has a jeep and so she put a duck on our jeep, so we gave her a pink duck (it is a jeep thing).

We visited the Kiskatinaw Bridge (curved bridge) where we met a nice family from Taiwan (Kitty, her husband and their daughter Anne). Really fun people.

OH Canada

After leaving Glacier National Park, we drove 750 miles to the start of our caravan. The midway point was the Icefields Parkway where we could boondock in the parking lot for just over $10 USD. They have tours you can take a big vehicle out onto a number of glaciers.

We crossed the border into Canada at the Chief Mountain Crossing. Could not have been easier. Asked if we had Alcohol (which we did), Tabacco (none) and if we would be taking everything we have back with us to the USA. We said yes, and we were on our way.

As we crossed, we have put just over 3,000 miles on our RV, and we have driven the jeep over 2,000 miles seeing things. We are averaging 14.2 miles to the gallon, so that is just over 200 gallons of diesel. The dollar is strong (30%), so stuff is quite reasonably priced.

We went to the visitor’s center but did not have the energy to do much else. Just sat and had a cocktail looking at the glacier across the parking lot!

We spent a day, visiting the Many Glacier Area. They have a ton of hikes and we took the Swiftcurrent Nature Trail; a short 2 mile hike around Swiftcurrent Lake.

After our hike, we stopped at the Many Glacier Hotel and had lunch where we met and Lance and Christina from Florida. A fun young couple who loves hiking.

Going to the Sun Road

July 7, 2026 / / 2 Comments

After leaving Yellowstone, we traveled north to Glacier National Park. We stayed 1 night at a Harvest Host: Apple Bar Orchard. Enjoyable stay were we bought berries, jelly and syrup made from Haskap Berries – a super fruit.

We are staying outside Glacier at Heart of Glacier RV Park. A very short drive to the east gate of Glacier.

Our first full day, we drove the “Going to the Sun Road“. A 51 mile drive through the valley and mountains. Beautiful sites and highly recommended.
