They may look a little rundown in places, but this adds to their charm. Stop at Stone Mountain Provincial Park and take a short hike to beautiful upland lakes before driving over the Summit Pass, at 1295m this is the highest summit on the Alaska Highway. Continue to Liard Hot Springs. 199 miles to Liard Hot Springs. If you have a sweet tooth, stop at Tetsa River Lodge for their famous cinnamon buns.

The two thermal pools are the hottest in BC ranging from 42 to 52 degrees Celsius and the surrounding area is often known as the Tropical Valley due to the flora and fauna that thrive off the high temperatures.

Sun 10 May 26 - Mon 11 May 26
➤Welcome to the Yukon Territory. The name itself just conjures up images of sparse unexplored wilderness and untamed rivers and with the highest mountains in Canada, the scenery will no doubt be as spectacular as you imagine it to be. Also, it is one of the few places in the world that wearing sunglasses at 11pm is perfectly normal in the summer months. You will have covered a LOT of miles recently, so we suggest taking a day off and spend the day in the likeable and relaxed Whitehorse. The capital of the Yukon has enough about it to keep you entertained for the day from open air lunchtime concerts to historic site walking tours. 278 miles to Whitehorse. Take a break at Emerald Lake, popular for its almost aqua-like coloured water. Visit the SS Klondike, one of only two surviving paddle steamers in the Yukon.

➤Having enjoyed a day exploring Whitehorse, it is time to hit the road again and what a few days are in store for you as you travel along the Alaska highway towards Haines junction andthe magnificent Kluane National Park, home to the highest peak in Canada and second highest in North America.

Stop at the Teslin Tlingit Heritage Centre for its displays of artefacts and masks illustrating the last few hundred years of the Inland Tlingit culture.

Fri 15 May 26
➤Continue to head back along the Alaska Highway and just a few kilometres from Watson Lake, head south on Highway 34.

Enjoy some time in this great wilderness area and try your hand at white water rafting along the Dease River. Please note that sections of the Stewart-Cassiar are non-paved highway. There are many other non-paved highways in Northern Canada and these offer opportunities to explore fantastic scenery and great wildlife viewing and whilst we do not prohibit travel on these roads, we do encourage you to use an abundance of good common sense and remain prepared for contingencies.

Sat 16 May 26
➤Head south from Dease lake through the volcanic landscape and lava flows of Mount Edziza Provincial Park. When you arrive at Mezadin Junction, take a detour off the main highway to the town of Stewart on the BC/Alaska border. Stop at the unmissable Bear Glacier which finishes virtually at the edge of the highway.

Sun 17 May 26
➤Leave Stewart and rejoin the main Stewart-Cassiar highway heading south with the majestic Coast Range mountains off to your right and follow the road as it passes through swaths of wild forests and lakes. Join the Yellowhead Highway heading west as it follows the winding and majestic Skeena River all the way to the coastal town of Prince Rupert ringed by mountains and a beautiful fjord-like coastline. 282 miles to Prince Rupert. Stop in Gitanyow to see its awesome totem poles including the 140-year-old Hole in the Sky totem pole.
