Miles and miles of mountains

Was great having the van on the way up - we could go as far as we wanted every day and park up at the nicest places for the night, including Muncho Lake Povincial Park, Lake Louise and at the Yukon river at Whitehorse.
Jesse has driven over 4000 km's - Banff, Alberta to Homer on the Kenai Peninsula. Its kinda of strange getting used to the daylight hours - it gets dark after 11 at night and light by 4am. The other night at Lake Louise we parked up and had dinner cooking at 12am and we hardly needed a torch.

There were a number of really beautiful places we drove past but the one that stands out is the Kluane National Park. There are many glaciers you can see amongst the massive mountains from the road and at this time of year the mountains were striped with rock and snow. Too bad we couldn't spend much time there and go up into the moutains, that will have to be on the list for our next trip up here.
