Haines Junction

I absolutely loved this campsite. I refueled in Haines Junction and started looking for a place to spend the night. This is the perfect campsite. It was quite with the soothing sound of a creek from melting snow and glacier. It was the ideal location to relax after a day of driving.

I loved waking up the sound of flowing water! It was so peaceful and beautiful!

As I started driving, there were interesting clouds building over the mountains. Will it start raining?

Clouds started building up all around the mountains. I loved the colors within the mountains! Soon after taking this photo, the drizzle rain started to fall everywhere.

Once I arrived in Haines, I stopped at the visitor center. The gentleman told me there was an excellent brewery in Haines, so I added it to my to-do list.

I sampled two beers and thought they were both great. Tomorrow, I may try another one too. It is fun to meet small local businesses and hear a bit about how they got started.

I am happy to have the opportunity to explore all 50 states!!

In terms of traveling, today was a big day for me. I traveled from Whitehorse, Yukon to enter Alaska! This is the first time I have been to Alaska. It is also the 50^th state I have visited and the 49^th state I have visited with a motorhome. Maybe I should rent a motorhome in Hawaii so all 50 states are addressed? I am really looking forward to exploring Alaska!

When I crossed the Alaskan border today, my odometer read 4,080 miles so far for this adventure. That is a long journey that started 21 days ago and is filled with many fun stops along the way!

I loved the pink colors shining on the mountains!

I started driving quite early today and I loved the sunrise shining on the mountains as I drove through Haines Junction, Yukon. I had to pullover and take some photos from the driver’s seat. I saw two moose, but those rascals ran into the trees before I could grab my camera. There were many elk enjoying the day, but I did not see any bears today.
