( Writing this on Oct 2, from Bryce National Park in Utah. )
The return drive through Canada was from Aug. 21 until Aug. 27 ,2014.
Crossing from Alaska to Canada was uneventful, a few questions and we were on our way east along the Alaskan Highway. We drove this for 650 miles through the Yukon Territory to Watson Lake. Then we turned south on the Cassiar Highway (Hwy37) into Alberta for 450 miles. This ends at the Yellowhead Hwy, we took this east about 300 miles into British Columbia where we then took Highway 5 south for 600 miles crossing the U.S. Border in Wastington State until we picked up Highway 2 east to Montana. Crossing into the U.S. was also very quick. I do have a funny story about the officer questioning us. He read our drivers licenses and asked if we were near Holly, we said, yes, that's the next town over. We asked if he was from there and he said no, my x-wife is. Well, we immediately said we didn't know anyone there, never been there! He laughed and said have a safe trip.
Here are a few pictures of the Canadian trip following the Cassiar and Canadian Rocky Mountain Ranges.

The colors are telling us it's time to head south.
Above pictures were views in the Yukon. Next takes us along the Cassiar, which is noted for bear sightings. The first 200 miles of the Cassiar was the remains of a 2011 forest fire but as soon as the trees appeared we saw a porcupine and further along a bear scooting back into the trees. In the next couple of days we saw lots of black bears but couldn't always get pictures because they hide so quickly.
This is the end of the Cassiar Hwy. and there we were back living in a cloud. I'll pick up in the next post on the Yellowhead Hwy.
