The Milepost describes in decent detail what we could expect in terms of mountain passes, road traff

You know what s funny? While I had been looking forward to this 5-day drive, I can t deny that I was dreading sitting for 60+ hours in the car. It s the longest road trip I ve been on by far, and 5 consecutive days of driving felt like it might just be a bit too much. How do those long-distance truck drivers do this daily? I wondered.
But, I m happy to say, it actually wasn t that bad at all. At least into the 4th day, time was going fairly quickly and the scenery kept us occupied most of the time. It was almost all new terrain for the both of us and exploring new areas is one of the things we like to do most.
The Milepost describes in decent detail what we could expect in terms of mountain passes, road traffic and road conditions. Because of this, we knew that this day we d be driving over Summit Pass, which is the highest summit on the Alaska Highway at 4,250 feet.
Puddles of water and ice occasionally crept onto and took over parts of the two-lane road. But since there was virtually no traffic and the puddles were never large enough vacation virtual tours to cover both lanes, it was basically a non-issue for us. Thankfully.
The Forest was started by an engineer working on the Alaska Highway back in 1942 and signs have been added ever since. According to  The Milepost , there are over 72,000 vacation virtual tours signs. I wouldn vacation virtual tours tve gone out of my way to see this, but since it was on the side of the road it was kinda cool to see.
I had a feeling it was probably lightly populated being so far north and away from most civilization, but I couldn t believe just how few people live out there.  Whitehorse is the largest town in the Yukon with about 23,000 of the Yukon s total 34,o00 people. It definitely felt remote.
