Our EPIC drive through the YUKON on the Alaska Highway! (Whitehorse, Kluane National Park, & MORE!)

The second half of the Alaska Highway took us through the Yukon and WOW, what a magical place!
The Yukon is one of Canada’s three territories and is known for the Klondike Gold Rush and its immense wilderness and wildlife. We spent 3.5 days driving through the Yukon and were constantly in awe by the sheer beauty of the landscapes around us.

Thanks for putting the travel dates here. We are planning a 2023 Alaska trip and the date vs location info helps. Please keep giving the dates. (A subtitle at the start of each video would be awesome, lol.) Really enjoy following you guys all over the country.

[@terryomalley1974]

Seriously, you guys have the best travel vlogs on KZbin! They're both entertaining and informative. I particularly respect the fact that that you do thorough research on every location you visit. I'm sure the locals with whom you come into contact appreciate that also. Compared to the supernatural beauty if BC, the Alberta Rockies and the big cities of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, the Yukon is often overlooked and underappreciated, even by most Canadians. Thank you for providing such a comprehensive perspective on this magnificent part of our great nation. Oh, and Kona is just as cute as a button! 🐕

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks, Terry! The Yukon was super spectacular! We've loved every inch (cm? 😜) of Canada we've visited. We haven't visited the eastern side of the country, but we will one day. We're very excited for the large cities there and the beauty of Newfoundland and Labrador!

[@terryomalley1974]

@@AdventuresofAplusK You're very welcome! It's okay to use inches, lol. We still use then too.

My grandfather was a lieutenant in the U.S. army and was in charge of a black contruction battalion that participated in building of the Alaska highway. I have a Alaska leather bound photo album with him and his battalion in it. I LOVE your videos.

SO HAPPY you got to experience some indigenous culture while you were there. Canada is filled with different indigenous cultures, traditions, languages, bands, the list goes on. And learning it directly from an indigenous person or elder, is such an incredible experience that I wish more folks had the opportunity to do. Its imperative to promoting and preserving their culture for decades to come after years of losing so much of it through assimilation (including supporting them through compensation is such an incredible thing to do - so thank you for that :)). So happy to see that you enjoyed it and shared it on your channel, thank you!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We totally agree! We love learning about indigenous and First Nations cultures and we were thankful we could share it. We also think it's important for people to learn about them and the history, as horrible as it is. Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@pi1392]

literally the best video i've ever seen. Yukon is a magical place.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you!

[@beckywatson2318]

A+K - Your videos are the highlight of our week. We love everything about you guys and you bring us so much inspiration in our own adventures. The way you share your videos makes us feel like we are friends. Thanks for sharing your travels and experiences. We truly feel like it has made our lives better! A couple of things: 1. Your green chili looks amazing! Would you be willing to share the recipe? 2. Adam- we love the pillowy food descriptions! It makes us smile every time.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Your comment means a lot to us! That really makes us feel good so thank you for that! 1. The green chili pork recipe couldn't be easier...I buy a port shoulder/butt (2-3 lbs because we have the smallest InstantPot) and a large jar of green salsa. Dice up the pork into 1 inch-ish chunks and dump the salsa in and mix it around. I usually do 30-35 minutes, but look up the cooking time for your size InstantPot and how much meat you put in there. Then, at the end sometimes I like to crisp it up in a hot skillet 2. Haha I probably need to lay off "pillow-y" for a bit! 😂 but it's fun anyway! Thanks for watching, Becky!

[@NoOverhead]

Yeah, that chili looked awesome!

[@FlyCheeseFry]

Such quality and quantity with your videos, guys. I am loving joining in on this trip. What beautiful places. I really appreciate how much time and effort y'all put into these videos. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care and have fun.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much! Your comment means a lot to us! Thanks for watching!

[@stevedietrich8936]

I really enjoyed the visit to Long Ago Peoples Place. I'm also the type that likes factory tours and seeing how things work. That couple was so gracious and it looked like Harold spent a lot of time with you. Also MAJOR PROPS to Adam for knowing how to fix his instrument cluster. I wouldn't have had a clue. From converting your sprinter to doing repairs, Adam is the man.

[@stevedietrich8936]

Also, when you get to the Kenai and if you need lunch/coffee, the Kenai Princess Wilderness lodge on a bluff above the Kenai river was great. It is only a short drive off the road from Anchorage to Seward.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The Long Ago People Place was so informative and they were very kind to show us around and spend so much time with us. They do a lot of good over there! Luckily the dealership told me how to fix it when it happened last time. Thankfully it worked! Thanks, Steve!

[@terizumbusch8408]

Oh my gosh what a beautiful segment, I'm 72 and this is a drive I have always wanted to make but I'm not sure that's gonna happen so I am enjoying your love of its beauty and how much you share so I'm considering this is my trip. Like I said before I'm in Portland Oregon and I've been to Alaska twice but I flew into Anchorage and went from there. Pray God blesses you as you enjoy His beauty what a amazing world hes given us what an amazing sculpture and artist and you guys enjoy it so wonderfully and share it so well. Thank you so much look forward to this trip. Praying for safe passage protection favor favor and a glorious time. Bless you guys, God-bless you real good!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much! We hope you can get out here again! It’s a gorgeous, wonderful place!

[@stephenzane1247]

The images on this episode were so crisp and clear. Loved the beauty of all the wilderness vistas. The three of you romping down the sand dune was heartwarming.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks, Stephen! We had a blast!

[@benjeanettebooth1800]

Thanks for sharing this excellent video! It brought back memories of moving our daughter up to Alaska in August of 2019. We drove from Bountiful, Utah to Anchorage in five days, a distance of just under 3200 miles. British Columbia and Yukon are spectacular.

[@mountainmanwannabe9495]

Oh man that was indeed epic, the views, the food, the First Nations experience. Just wow! All of this is just a teaser to Alaska, right? Thanks again for sharing your journey!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh ya! It gets even better if you can believe it!

[@davidmarshall718]

A "Teaser" ??? Meaning Alaska is "that much better" than the Yukon ??? Well, it is bigger, but not if you include the western North West Territories (NWT) of Canada to the Mackenzie River, largest in the country, which runs south to north and drains into the Arctic Ocean. The western N.W.T. is part of the same landscape and climate of Alaska and the Yukon. One of the social problems of this region, which I experienced when I travelled this region to your 49th state in 2008, was the haughtiness and even snottiness of SOME citizens of the USA, who believe Canada is a 10 percent version of the USA. Well, we have 10 percent of your population, most of it in the south because if you go NORTH of Dawson Creek, British Columbia (Mile Zero of this road at latitude 55 degrees) ANYTIME from October to May, it will be below freezing during the day, and there may be snow on the ground in some form or another, and plenty of it in mid-winter, with temperatures so cold in winter the average southern American will NOT BELIEVE IT or how ANYONE COULD SURVIVE IT, even for 5 minutes. Canada has the same quality of life and the same Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as the USA on a per-capita basis, it shocks many Americans that Canada is consistently the 8th to10th richest nation in the entire World OVERALL for GDP out of 200+ nations, and along with Australia with an even smaller population and which places about 12th to 14th, Canada and Australia are consistently the only 2 nations in the top 15 of the World's GDP countries with a population BELOW 50 million people (Canada 37 million people / Australia 26 million people / USA 330 million people). And I hope you will leave your comment on this thread and my comment too, because it needs to be said right here at the top of the page, I left Alaska with something of a "bad taste in my mouth" after a 2 week trip there due to the attitudes of SOME Americans there, one of the first things the American bus driver told me when we crossed into Alaska going from Whitehorse to Fairbanks was that "Canadian jokes will NOT be allowed on the bus"............ when I said I wanted to "hear them all" he replied............... NO, you don't want to hear them all, some are really, really BAD.................

[@mbrooks5555]

Love that this one is about 8 minutes longer than the last one! So much to see and share with us - thank you!! Seriously, I'd watch a full-length film of your Journey to Alaska travel highlights on a big screen any day! The First Nations focus you've honored is outstanding. Maybe you should also add a "pillow-y" and "windshield chip" counter to your tracking. Glad I'm not the only one who also sees a rock and thinks it's an animal... :) Loved that unexpected sand dunes sight, too. Hoping to see lots of fireweed in your future films - hope you've tried some fireweed honey by now! Finally, what would you do for a Klondike Bar?

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We're enjoying sharing these longer ones! Our next few will be a good mix of average to longer length. Haha we do need a "pillow-y" counter and hopefully won't need a windshield chip one! We tried some fireweed honey ice cream the other day and it was awesome! I've had that dang jingle stuck in my head for weeks....lol

Thank you for the special meeting you had with the first peoples. So interesting and told us about a culture so far away that many of us will never meet. You have done such a great job so far. I have never seen anyone traveling the Alaska Hwy give so much detail and take time for documenting such a large part of the epic scenery. I am enjoying this trip immensely. Can’t wait to see what comes next !

Keep up the great videos!

[@WhenAdventureKnox]

Loved that sign post forest. Reminds me of when Kara and Nate visited the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania and were like 'if you come, find out cross' - now people will be doing it in Canada for you guys! Such a shame that the SS Klondike was closed for renovations during your visit as I imagine it would have been awesome to get a nosey around the inside, but the Rib and Salmon restaurant seemed to make up for it, the setting looked amazing, as did the food, and the other customers cheering you on was so cool - cherry on top of the cake was when you said they were government officials! 🙌🤣 Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Long Ago Peoples Place and hearing about the way of life and history. The animal traps were amazing and listening to your de-brief after the visit, it sound like you guys got so much out of it too!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The Sign Post Forest was such a neat spot to stop. Yes it reminded me of the Hill of Crosses too now that I think about it. We hope to get some photos from people with our sign. That would be the coolest! Seeing the SS Klondike would've been really neat. We'll have to go back! The food definitely made up for it though! It was delectable! It was so funny when that large group of government officials came in haha And the Long Ago Peoples Place was so amazing. We're thankful they gave us that tour after showing up unannounced! We really did get a lot out of that experience. We're very interested in learning about that topic and to learn first hand can't be beat!

[@davidmarshall718]

Throughout the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, it was very popular for retired Americans, the so-called "Greatest Generation" in your country (in some ways) to take a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Alaska from the lower 48 to the "Last Frontier" which is Alaska's nickname. In summer, there was an almost steady stream of Recreational Vehicles from the USA going through British Columbia, Alberta, and the Yukon with retired American couples making their trip to your 49th state. The Watson Lake sign forest is one of their legacies, most of the signs there were left from that era, although of course it started with the original highway builders in 1942, and with the recent interest in adventure travel around the World in the new millenium, including more people from Europe and Asia, many more signs have been added, some with hometowns across oceans to the far ends of the earth.

[@tacrewgirl]

It's fun reliving my drive up the Alcan with your videos. I capped my solo driving days at 7 hours so I could explore, hike, go to visitors centers, and meet locals. I appreciate the bits of history and mentions of Native American history. I spent a lot of my 6th day also exploring Whitehorse. Thanks for another great video.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The Alcan is such an amazing drive isn't it?! Ya 7 hours in a day is a lot. We don't like to drive that much in a day either. Whitehorse was a great stop!

The entire video was amazing. The Journey north has not disappointed. Glad the instrument panel rebooted! Whew! Thanks so much for sharing!😀👍

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We were glad it worked again as well. We could've been in a real pickle! We loved our journey through Canada! Can't wait to share Alaska soon!

[@terryzanger7152]

Hey guys, Yukoner here. Nice video. I love your enthusiasm. Most Alaska bound travel logs book through Yukon in about 15 seconds. Thank you for taking more time. Just a few suggestions, visit Atlin, just 50 miles south of the Alaska highway though in BC. Klondike rib and salmon has fesh halibut fish and chips to die for.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh man they are missing out! There is so much to see and do in the Yukon! We LOVED it! Atlin looks nice! Thanks for the tip! We watched to try their salmon or halibut, but they didn't offer it during lunch for some reason.

[@elijahjohnson2672]

So true, as another Yukoner it is nice to have someone show off our beautiful territory.

[@NoOverhead]

This has been such a great series!! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you!

[@babyblueyoshi]

I love how much info you guys give in each episode. Like cliff notes of a wiki page haha. And you guys give it with such ease like you have a teleprompter or something. Seeing your travels really makes me want to get outside!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you! That means a lot to us!

[@nishaparker]

I visited the Yukon last summer, and seeing this video brought back so many happy memories from such a beautiful place! It makes me want to go back. Thanks for sharing!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We loved the Yukon! We can’t wait to see more on our way back to the lower 48. Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@BobKeefe]

Another gorgeous video! 😃 We’re especially fond of this one because it brought back memories of our 18 day Alaskan land/sea tour with Holland America back in 2005. We stopped in many of the places you covered in this video, and it was great seeing them again. Wishing you fun travels 😃

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It is a beautiful part of the world, isn't it!? We're glad we could spin up those memories for you. Thanks, Bob!

[@Cmars_8739]

Omg YAY! I’ve been waiting for this!

Just discovered your channel, and am extremely impressed! Fun, scenery, info, adventures...you have it all! Time to binge watch all of your awesome videos!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@brunnie]

Loving not only the scenery, but also the First Nations info as well as the other things to do and see. Someday.... Someday... (lol).. Thank you for such a wonder vlog that is so informative. Until next time... Travel Safe. OH... I wonder if the plug just wiggled loose from the instrument cluster? Good thing you knew what to do.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We are so thankful we got that opportunity to learn from and share the First Nations experience! I don't think it wiggled lose because it has a mechanism that you have to release and then it can be removed. When we had it looked at in January there was some corrosion back there and they replaced the part that had corrosion. Hopefully it's not making a comeback!

[@brunnie]

@@AdventuresofAplusK See if you can find a spray can of Contact cleaner, and toss that in your tool(s) kit.

[@Julied319]

So many videos just show driving thru to a destination … really appreciate how you stop & hike & see the history of the area!😁

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We love to stop and experience as much as we can and share some history and context along the way! Thanks, Julie!

[@jlmarcelhebert1407]

Amazing video. My wife and I planned to drive from Manitoba to Yukon next summer. Now, it is confirmed. We are going. Thank you guys.

[@michaels8342]

Incredible Awesome Video…you both do such a fantastic job on these videos..The scenery is out of this world…check out that burger and those ribs..just Yum..thanks for bringing this Yukon Adventure! Stay safe!

Thanks, Michael!

[@mattc1602]

Great video

[@ranger-1214]

Enjoyed both the videos. We drove it up to Fort Greeley AK (outside Delta Junction) in February of 1978 - below zero most all the time. I was pushing to get there as my orders to report were imminent, so we only overnighted in Watson Lake. Winter, dark, cold but also the gravel road had enough snow and ice mix that we could drive 60-70 mph. Had a new '78 Bronco (1st year of the big ones) with the front protected with a tarp so the rocks from other vehicles wouldn't tear up the radiator but it was cold enough we didn't overheat. Lost a few headlights to stones but had spares and picked up some chips in the windshield. At the AK border pavement started. We came out four years later in the summer of '82 and it was beautiful as you have shown, so we took our time and enjoyed it. At that time, in Canada we'd hit new pavement, then road work, then slow detours where they were working on it, then the old gravel road. At the next "Census Unit" which is their county, we'd hit new pavement and start the process again. Muncho Lake was a high point, but every direction is fantastic. With all the summer daylight it is a great trip.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It's a fantastic journey through the Yukon! Those are crazy stories! Thanks for sharing and for watching

[@northernsteph]

I live in the Yukon and you've done a great job of showing it off.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks, John! We had a lot of fun with this video!

[@bethb7965]

Back in August of '65 our family drove from Seattle to Fairbanks on the Alcan Highway. Back then most of it was unpaved and were told to carry provisions just in case. I was 10 but remember the BREATHTAKING (my mom's word) scenery along the way. Our stop in Fairbanks was at our cousin Bob Bloom's . He was one of the first pioneers up there with his wife Jesse. Nice to have such family history!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Wow that is a really cool experience! Traveling that road would have been a completely different thing!

Wow, amazing, so beautiful. The videos are so amazing. The mountains are must breathtaking. You can see things from the road, but you really have hike to see the amazing places. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed the gentleman yall talked to. I love the history of different people. He was very interesting to listen to.

[@suzanneaydelotte801]

I could not stop saying OMGOSH during this video. Such overwhelming beauty…I cannot even imagine seeing it in person! Kathryn, we saw the mosquito on your head during the one segment but then when we saw them attacking you…that was a whole different story…can you be my swatter?” haha! So glad Konie has her heartworm meds in this part of the trip! Loved your sign on the beware of dog sign…loved Konie in the passenger seat! Konie was also so cute digging in the sand and in all of her other appearances…love seeing my sweet girl! “What would you do for a Klondike Bar?!” That was so funny when Adam called his burger a Klondike Bar…we laughed so hard that he didn’t even realize what he said until Kathryn pointed it out!!!😂 So much more I could go on and on about in this video…SUCH A FANTASTIC video! Thanks for showing us a part of the world we will most likely never see in person! Keep traveling safe! 😘❤️❤️❤️🐶🥰

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

There was so much to OMGOSH at on this leg of the journey! It was incredible in person! Lots of mosquitos around in this one too! I had to be the swatter 😂 It was very fitting that we used a beware of dog sign for our sign, isn't it?! She had a blast at the sand dunes! I've had that darn jingle stuck in my head for weeks! I didn't even realize I called it a bar! lol Thanks for watching! We're thankful and lucky we get to share our journey and experiences in this way!
