The Eastern Edge of the Canadian Rockies

N 58°48'09"
W 122°43'10"

Hopes were high this morning which was mostly due to the fact that today, we knew we would be seeing some significantly better scenery. Approaching the Canadian Rockies from the Alaska Highway is comparable to driving through scenic parts of the Appalachians. A build up of slow rolling boreal forest eventually transforms into immature mountains teaming with moose, black bears, and gray wolves. All of which, we saw today. We have even higher hopes for tomorrow when the landscape is truly worth writing home about.

When I have more time... probably in Anchorage. I will write a little more and post pictures, but for now, I need to catch some Z's. Sunrise is at 5:20am.
