May 27, 2018

I really love the drive from Fort Nelson to the  Liard River. The mountains and Muncho Lake are absolutely beautiful. I would respectfully say that this is the most spectacular section of the entire Alaskan Highway.

Today during this awesome drive, we saw six bear, one moose, one caribou, one fox, and a bunch of bison. Someone commented on RV.Net that they thought the wildlife viewings were down from previous years. Well we are up to eight bear sightings. In 2016 we had only seen a couple of bear through this section.

We stopped again this year at the Liard Hotsprings Lodge. We got to the lodge right around noon, setup camp, and headed straight for the hot springs. Outside it was around 50*F so the hot springs were steamy. In 2016 we stopped on our way home and the temperature was around 85* (way too hot to spend much time in the hot springs). This year was just like 2014 (nice and cool) so we were able to soak for a long time.

My only disappointment was that the park service cut down the tree that crossed the river just around the corner from the two water falls. It was fun to hang off of it. The pieces are still floating around and can easily be recognized as they still show the carvings of past years.

It is very nice to see that the Lodge is fully operational and even has wifi. In past years were were lucky to have 110 power and/or water. We are only staying here tonight and will move on up to Watson Lake tomorrow.
