3 day road trip from Whistler to Dawson Creek, BC (the start of the Alaska Highway!)

For the next stretch of our drive up to Alaska we drove 1,000 km up British Columbia, from Whistler to Dawson City (which is the start of the Alaska Highway)! This was all new territory for us and over three days we got to admire some amazing scenery both from the van and on hikes, visit local businesses (and enjoy tasty +), learn some history, see wildlife, and overall just had a blast as we continued towards our goal of making it to Alaska.
