When we woke up super early at Greeny Lake, we decided to skip the Mackenzie stop and head straight to Tumbler Ridge – it was a bad and good thing – bad because we skipped the WAC Bennet Dam, and good because it gave us an extra day in the Tumbler Ridge area.
We spent the next night at Kinuseo Falls campground in Monkman Provincial Park – driving 60kms on a gravel road to get there. It was a very remote area, not many people camp there. We hiked 3.7km to see Kinuseo Falls which is quite spectacular. Too bad the trail to the lower viewpoint was closed…
After Monkman, we made our way to Tumbler Ridge. We visited the Dinosaur Discovery Gallery and met the local palaeontologist Richard McCrea that was featured in many of the documentaries about dinosaur finds in the Tumbler Ridge area. We took a short hike to look at dinosaur footprints.
Today we are at Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway – Dawson Creek. We will spend a couple of nights here and then off to Muncho Provincial Park..

Gladys there is a large book you can pickup that outlines all the highlights at certain mile markers. We found it helpful. Check with a local and they can tell you where to buy them or the visitor centre. Love the pictures!! Thanks for sharing

The Milepost.. Yes, we have that 🙂
Love the photos Caroline. I can’t wait to see and hear more about Alaska. I have not been there since I was in grade 6. That is a long time ago! If you can you should try my new favourite campfire meal. Pizza ingredients inside a pita pocket, wrap in foil and bake over the hot coals. Delicious!
