The Alaska Highway, which actually starts in British Columbia,
is the only route!
The turn-off to the Haines Road is about 40km past my house.

No need to go to Dawson to get to Haines, AK. Straight through Whitehorse to Haines Junction then over to Haines. Takes about four hours.

Gotcha, we were in Dawson from Alaska, heading home. there was still a ton of people bypassing Whitehorse going through Dawson when we where there.

Wow, how exciting! I've wanted to go to either Alaska, or Canada for Christmas (or sometime in winter) for quite some time now! Drive safe!

Congrats and good luck! :)

HEY Ashley ~~

Not sure which threads you've been reading ... so here goes again >>>

Are you planning to *stop* in Whitehorse, Yukon Territories, Canada,
for a *howdie* with Glacier at the Husky Ranch?

Or ar you "voyaging" up the coast on a Ferry/Cruise Ship rather than the highway?

This ferry trip has been 4 days long http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/eek.gif.
My poor pups are downstairs on the car deck
but they seem to be doing ok with all of this.

I'm still hoping to one day make a trip up to see Glacier or her make a trip down.
From what I understand she comes to Haines sometimes for vacation http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/biggrin.gif

wow!

So what do the Mutts think of their 4-day Boat Ride?
Are they in kennels on the boat, or confined to the car?

And where, pray tell, do they go *poddy* when the need arises?

Are they allowed to *take a hike* on deck?

Tell us about your adventure!!
