Comments on: Slow and Easy–That’s the Way To Travel the Alaska Highway! http://gildartphoto.com/weblog/2009/06/28/slow-and-easy-thats-the-way-to-travel-the-alaska-highway Glimpses From Bert & Jane Gildart's Travel Adventures Tue, 22 May 2012 00:20:47 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Bert http://gildartphoto.com/weblog/2009/06/28/slow-and-easy-thats-the-way-to-travel-the-alaska-highway/comment-page-1#comment-35933 Bert Sun, 28 Jun 2009 23:12:43 +0000 http://gildartphoto.com/weblog/?p=3354#comment-35933 Tim, Will try and remedy that in the next few days. There's been lots of rain and the mountains have been socked in. Still, it's gorgeous; the mountains are high, lots of snow and the road is much like the road from East Glacier to West Glacier. Now that description might help my friend Tim, but for the rest of you, imagine a two-lane highway with lots of twists and turns, flanked, however, by fairly decent shoulders that proceeds through forests of spruce and fir--but now turned somewhat stunted by the extreme northern latitude. Nights now are short, as relatively speaking, we're not too far from the Arctic Circle. And believe it or not, the mosquitoes THIS YEAR are not bad. YET! Crossing our fingers. Pictures to follow in a day or so. Tim, Will try and remedy that in the next few days. There’s been lots of rain and the mountains have been socked in.

I am intrigued, and I have no idea what the highway looks like, nor the countryside it traverses. ~T Hi Bert,

How bout some shots of the highway itself? I am intrigued, and I have no idea what the highway looks like, nor the countryside it traverses.
