Driving Cross Countries, Summer 2017 ( Part 2 of 4 - Heading South from Alaska - Roadside Fishing)

After sockeye salmon fishing in Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, we headed back to Canada..  We still had almost two months to go.

                    Lions Head (Center) is one of the famous views along Glenn Highway, Alaska.

      Whenever we saw a good fishing spot while driving, we stopped and pulled out our tenkara rods.

             June 21 was Summer Solstice, the day with the longest daylight.  

                    This picture was taken at 11:28 pm at Tok, Alaska.

The sun had just set.

                                       
                                                              I checked my watch, 11:28 pm.

           

             The camp site in Haines Junction on Alaska Highway, Yukon,
had a breathtaking view of Kluane Ranges.

White Pass of South Klondike Highway is the border between US and Canada.

One of the best scenic routes of our trip was driving on South Klondike Highway to Skagway, Alaska. There were unbelievable color blue and green lakes, snow mountains, hanging glaciers, roaring waterfalls, high mountain passes, deep canyons and even sand dunes.  All these impressive sceneries were displayed along the route without break.

A long section of the South Klondike Highway was under construction. Whenever a construction truck passed by, it disturbed the dust so much that we had almost zero visibility.  

Skagway is a favorite tourist destination. When we were there, two cruise ships docked in the port. This small town was flooded with people and came alive.

                After Skagway, we were back on Alaska Highway in Yukon.  Then we took the remote Cassiar Highway, British Columbia, heading south.

While driving on Cassiar Highway, we noticed a narrow dirt road going to the woods with a stream flowing along it. We followed this dirt road to the end and found the confluence of a beautiful river. We immediately pulled out a tenkara rod and took turn casting with it. Almost every cast hooked a fish. We caught some good size graylings in no time.

We saw more bears on the roadside of Cassiar Highway than any place in our trip.


In Part 3,  I'll talk about fishing in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada.
