Jaw-dropping scenic views and Oh WOW moments, you'll find these and much more when you drive the South Klondike Highway from the Alaska Highway in Yukon Territory, through British Columbia, to Skagway, Alaska.
After 37 days on the road driving our motorhome from South Florida... in this episode we finally cross the border into Alaska for the 1st time!!
We take you along as we leave Watson Lake, Yukon and take a shortcut off the Alaska Highway to reach Skagway, Alaska.
This stretch of road is more than just a scenic drive... It's a stunningly beautiful drive that was made even more spectacular by the time of year... we found snow covered mountains, frozen lakes and zero traffic!
Join us as we drive our Newmar New Aire Class A motorhome from Yukon to Alaska and arrive in Skagway.
Next up: We begin exploring Skagway, our first of many Alaskan towns (and one of our favorites!)
But first, let's take in the breathtaking views of the South Klondike Highway in May...
