This is a story and slide show of the highlights of Russ and Donna Sherwin’s recent 2014 trip through Canada to Alaska by RV. The trip began May 8 and ended August 5. We drove the RV about 9600 miles and put an additional 3000 on the Jeep.

But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. On the right is the campground we stayed in the first night. The rock is a spire formation at Cathedral Gorge, Nevada.

The trip went up through Nevada, Idaho, Oregon and Washington to Port Angeles where we caught the ferry to Victoria, BC. From there we drove up to Nanaimo and took the ferry across to Vancouver, BC and up the Sea to Sky Highway. On the left is Nairn Falls where we camped.

At Prince George, BC we turned west to Hazleton. This bridge goes across the Bulkley River to the native Gitxsan village of ‘KSAN which has a visitor center and a recreated museum of a native village.

We stopped at ‘KSAN again on the way back and ordered carved silver rings, an eagle for Russ and a Wolf for Donna, from native carver, Randy Adams.

The Cassiar Highway goes north from the Yellowhead Highway a little ways west of Hazleton.

At Mezadian Junction we took a side trip 40 miles west to Stewart, BC and Hyder, Alaska.
