The Yukon/Alaska road trip begins

~ 02.05.2019 ~

Hello there,
this morning we finally started our journey towards the Yukon! First, we took the ferry from Gibsons to Horseshoe Bay, and then we headed north on Highway 99. First, we stopped in Squamish to do some shopping and refuel. The next stop was Brandywine Falls. Out of all the waterfalls I've seen here so far, this one was the tallest.

Continuing on the highway, we soon passed by Whistler, where we briefly walked through the Olympic Village and took photos with the Olympic rings. By the way, the ski season was still not over here, and it was already the beginning of May.

Driving further on the road, we passed through large forests, mountains, and flat land. Our sleeping spot for the night was a small rest area right next to the road. There was a river and an old wooden bridge next to it, which rattled loudly every time a car passed by. Fortunately, there were hardly any cars passing by here, so the night was relatively quiet.
