Northern BC, the Yukon, and Alaska Trip August 6-14, 2017

Early on August 6 my daughter and I left Kamloops for what would be a very memorable trip full of

highlights and special experiences. The purpose of the trip was to do some exploring in the northern

part of BC and get a feel for the area. I was very conscious of the idea that this could be a place to bring

students or other groups in the future. My brother Dave and his family had done this circle several

summers ago and the description and photos looked amazing. The northern part of British Columbia

brings travelers into true back country but the large loop made out of remote “highways” is well set up

with gas stations and food. There are plenty of camping places along the way as well. The loop passes

though the Yukon Territory for a brief time and also runs very near to the panhandle of Alaska. There is

a small border crossing 30 minutes west of the loop so it is possible for a person to enter these two

places briefly as well which adds to the appeal. The trip from Kamloops, around the circle with a short

side trip to Alaska, and back to Kamloops is over 3500 kms so it isn’t for the faint of heart! The rewards

in terms of wildlife and scenery are unrivaled in this beautiful location of the world in my opinion,

however. The map below shows the path taken on this trip.

A personal goal was to get away and do some birding, fishing, and wildlife watching. I set the bar high

with a target of 20 mammal species not including small rodents such as mice. My daughter threw in her

desire to see 15 Black Bears on the trip as we pulled out as well. Our accommodation on this adventure

would be the back of our Buick Enclave by folding down the seats and setting up a small sleeping area.

We packed a small cooler and planned to pick up ice along the way to keep perishable food cold.

Day 1:

Very uneventful other than putting kms behind us. We drove from Kamloops to Prince George which is

the “big city” of the north and the starting point on the northern circle. We had to take the slightly

longer Yellowhead Highway as the 97 North was closed due to wild fires in the area. This portion is

roughly 520 kms and we took it easy which included a stop for lunch on an outdoor picnic table outside

the Valemount visitor center. We also hung out in Prince George for a few hours and visited all the pet

stores located there at my daughter’s request. As it turns out, waiting around kept us in the city until

supper time and we found a great Indian food place where I ate enough to easily justify the high buffet

price. After dinner we headed a short ways north to Crooked River Provincial Park where sitting around

and digesting was in order. Our Buick Enclave has a built in DVD player so we picked up some popcorn

and had a movie night in the back of our vehicle 😊. Not exactly roughing it in the north!

The next morning I woke early and did a short bird walk around the camp site and around a small pond I

had seen driving in the night before. Being August, most birds had stopped singing and some had

already headed south or dispersed from their breeding territories so it wasn’t that profitable. The

highlight was the numerous Red-necked Grebes who use the adjacent lake for breeding and adults were

busy feeding young out on the water.

Day 2: After my daughter woke up we packed and headed north east towards Ft. St John. This road rises

a bit and passes a ski area where we stopped briefly to scan for Mountain Goat. At this stop it became

apparent that the birds were out and some investigating was rewarded with a nice list of species

tougher to get in southern BC. Another short stop at a small lake after the ski area also produced a lot

of birds. The photo below is a Northern Waterthrush photographed at this location.

Before leaving on this trip, I watched a youtube clip of a guy catching Arctic Grayling in a river called the

Pine River and made a note of where it was. We passed it on this day and I stopped at a good looking

roadside pool and had one on the line after a few casts. I had never been in an area where fishing for

Grayling was possible before. Unfortunately, it flopped of the hook right at the shore so I couldn’t get

any photos and it was apparently the only feeding fish in that pool, but more on Grayling later. The road

to Ft. St. John goes through the Rockies and ends well east of them. To a bird watcher, this means a

totally different variety of species and a highlight of this circle route is to see eastern North American

species without leaving BC. I had consulted Chris McDonald, a birder who lives in Ft. St. John most of

the year, before leaving and he informed me where to go for these eastern goodies. Brother Dave was

also a huge help in this regard. With their advice, my daughter and I made our way to Beatton Provincial

Park located on Charlie Lake a short drive north of Ft. St. John. A short birding walk after dinner quickly

began to produce and I ended up walking no more than 20 meters in 30 minutes near the sports field

there. Black-throated Green Warblers, Black and White Warblers, a Canada Warbler, Blue Jays, and

numerous Franklin’s Gulls out on the lake. This certainly didn’t feel like any location in BC. The birding

was fantastic and I was late in the year for warblers and the like. I can only imagine what kind of list a

person could get there in May or June. The next morning I was up early and added BC goodies such as

Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Eastern Phoebe, Blue-headed Vireo, Ovenbird, and Baltimore Oriole.

Day 3: Leaving Beatton Provincial Park, we stopped at the Ft. St. John north Sewage ponds where there

was fantastic birding in the shorebird and waterfowl departments before heading towards our next

destination: Pink Mountain. Chris and Dave had done a day trip up to the alpine areas on the top of this

lone mountain several years previous which produced Rock Ptarmigan. I’m always keen on areas where

one can drive to the alpine so we headed up a small unpaved road off the Alaskan Highway with high

hopes. The road wasn’t in as good of condition as advertised but we arrived at the summit a mere 45

minutes or so after leaving the highway. Upon reaching the alpine, my daughter spotted a Ptarmigan on

the side of the road. When we stopped it disappeared into some brush and we figured there would be a

lot more at the top so kept going. By the next morning I was wishing we had investigated this a little

more as the Ptarmigan were hard to come by until then. At the summit, we immediately spotted a

mother and baby Dall’s Sheep which was a goal of mine to see on the trip. We then scoured the alpine

areas for ptarmigan with no luck for most of the early evening. The Dusky Grouse, on the other hand,

were plentiful and a mother with 5 young kept us entertained for a while. A group of shorebirds flew

over my head that evening as well and I ran over to get photos of Baird’s Sandpiper above the tree line

stopping on their way south. I was well into preparing our gourmet meal of hot dogs when I spotted a

small black animal moving steadily up a close ridge. I grabbed the scope and spouted a few animal

names which included “bear cub” and “wolverine” before settling on porcupine! I had never seen one in

the wild before and it was completely off the radar up high in the alpine. Do they regularly saunter

around above the tree line? The meal was put on hold and we scrambled over the loose rock for a

better look. When we got near, it stuck out its quills in a full protective display warning us that it was

armed and dangerous and kept going on its way. Sadly, it is probably this boldness that leads to so

many being hit by cars on the roads in the area (we counted 6 porcupine road kill on our trip). ☹ After

a beautiful sunset at the summit, we crawled into our vehicle and went to sleep.

Day 4: The next morning I awoke bent on finding ptarmigan. For the first few hours I was very successful

at finding bugs and more Dusky Grouse but no ptarmies anywhere. It was about the time that

frustration starts to be replaced with facing defeat that I retraced my steps to make it over to another

ridge and came face to face with four Rock Ptarmigan. I telephoned my daughter who was still sleeping

in our vehicle and she came over and saw them as well. This was a lifer for me so we hung out with

them for a while and then parted ways. On the way down the rough road off Pink Mountain we

rounded a corner and met a Lynx face to face at less than 10 meters. We were both clearly surprised to

see each other and we both froze for a few seconds to have a look. I struggled for my camera and the

movement sent him sauntering into the thick brush along the road. I managed a few pictures, mostly of

its rear end, but what an encounter!! Rock Ptarmigan

Near the bottom of Pink Mountain we ran into a pair of Grouse heading across our path which turned

out to be Spruce Grouse. Back on the road, we continued north towards Ft. Nelson. The only thing of

note on this portion of our journey was that we pulled off the main highway to go have a look at Andy

Bailey Regional Park just before Ft. Nelson. A book we had with us mentioned a good list of birds

possible there and we were making good time so decided to give it a go. At the end of a 15km gravel

road off the highway, there is a nice lake and wetland area there. I birded the entire 15 kms slow with

the windows open to hear birds, stopped at the lake and went for a short walk, got back in the car and

drove back to the highway and only recorded 1 unidentified empid! Not one bird. No even a loon or

other duck on the lake. I’m sure it is a hot spot but not in mid August… In Ft. Nelson we sprung for a

hotel because we were in need of a shower and a little comfort. I worked on pictures while my

daughter relaxed. At 8:00 we went on a wildlife drive along the Alaskan Highway west of Ft. Nelson 45

minutes and back which produced 6 Black Bears munching on grasses along the road including this

mother and cub.

Pink Mountain

Day 5: Out the door the next morning at 6:00, we drove west towards our destination: Liard River Hot

Springs Provincial Park. On the way, we stopped at Toad River for a break and a stretch of the legs.

There is a lake made by beavers there so I scoped out some ducks and found a Moose almost

completely submerged at the most distant end of the lake. There was an impressive amount of birds

including three kinds of shorebirds at this little place. I would highly recommend this stop for any

birders doing the northern circle.

Moose Lesser Yellowlegs

Solitary Sandpiper Spotted Sandpiper

A brief stop along the Toad River near Stone Mountain turned into a 2 hour stop and I caught 8 Grayling

on a dry fly as my daughter played, fished, and enjoyed the view.

We reached the Liard River Hot Springs mid-afternoon and grabbed a campsite before they all filled up a

short time later. It was an unusually hot 30 degrees here so not exactly hot spring weather. The hot

spring is located 800 m down a boardwalk from the campground so we decided to take a walk to it and

back to kill time before going in later when the air temperature had cooled down a bit. This area is

known for Black Bears and we spotted one from the boardwalk on the way. The staff (5-6 people) who

work here all have radios and we informed one of them who radioed the others and went off in the

bear’s direction. They use bear bangers at night here to try to keep the bears away but they still walk

through the campground quite frequently. I heard someone in a tent yelling a bit after dark and heard

one pass by our car as well. The dip in the hot spring was nice but the weather was too warm.

Fortunately, the hot spring is in a river so we could move up stream for warmer and downstream for

colder. A small change area has been built beside it, otherwise it is a completely natural spring. A dusk

wildlife drive from Liard River south to Muncho Lake and back didn’t produce much other than more

Dall’s Sheep and a Wood Bison road side.

Day 6: From Liard River we set out for the Yukon, crossing into it mid-morning. We replenished some

groceries at the first grocery store we had seen in a few days, went to a small diner for lunch, and I

birded Wye Lake Park which had breeding Red-necked Grebe and a Rusty Blackbird among other things.

We also had our first Red Fox and over 75 Wood Bison along the road on this day.

Wood Bison Red Fox

We turned off of the Alaskan Highway at the very top of the loop just west of Watson Lake, Yukon and

began driving south for the first time on our trip. This road is called the Cassiar Highway and is more

remote and less travelled than the Alaskan Highway. The entire way south is paved but it is not as well

maintained in some sections. It is important to check fuel levels along this road and top up whenever

there is gas. We drove south to the beautiful Boya Lake which is glacial fed and is a beautiful turquoise

colour. Kayaks are available along the shore so we went for a paddle. We worked up a sweat doing this

so went for a swim back at the dock. This, however, is not a lake that you stay in the water long for and

we were soon back on the dock wrapped in a towel!

Boya Lake

That afternoon we decided to put the pedal down and see how far we could get. There isn’t much along

this stretch of highway other than scenery and we made it a lot further than we thought. I ran into a

conservation officer at the gas station in Dease Lake and asked about Caribou. This was a target species

I hadn’t seen yet and it turns out I was too late/early in the season. He explained that during the fall,

winter, and spring they are abundant along this highway but were now in the high country. He told me

about some places to scope for them laying on snow near the peaks of mountains. He thought they

would be on snow to cool down (it was unusually warm) and to get rid of bugs. Despite thoroughly

checking out the areas he suggested, I came up dry. Another major siting that happened while looking

for Caribou was seeing a lone Wolf quite near. It was black with grey/whiteish markings on its face.

Another highlight of the trip! I saw it along the road right at dusk and quickly got my binoculars on it

before it disappeared into the brush. I waited by the side of the road for 15 minutes hoping it might

reappear if I turned off the car and sat still but it didn’t come back out. At a pull out up the road, we

stopped and got my daughter’s bed all set up. She laid down in the back and I drove on for another few

hours, eventually stopping and sleeping in the Iskut ice rink parking lot. Another mammal seen along

this stretch of road was a single Mountain Goat that I got a distant photo of. We also saw more Red Fox

including this dark phase individual.

Day 7: The next morning we left early while my daughter was still sleeping and we saw more Red Fox

and Black Bear before stopping for breakfast at the Wolf’s Den Café at Meziadin Junction. From here it

is less than an hour to Stewart on the Alaska border. This road is nicknamed the glacier highway

because of this:

Bear Glacier Salmon Glacier

We stopped in Stewart where I birded the estuary boardwalk and then crossed into Alaska and went to

the Fish Creek bear viewing area to see if any Grizzlies were in the area. The current events board

showed that one was visiting each night and early morning so we drove on to Salmon Glacier with plans

to drop back in after supper. The Salmon Glacier lookout is accessed via a 20 km gravel road good

enough for most vehicles. It is another place where one can reach the alpine by car. Brother Dave had

ptarmigan here when he visited so I scrambled up above the parking area at the top. I located a female

White-tailed Ptarmigan and her young after 10 minutes of scrambling and then found another family a

short time later. The female of the second family was different than the Rock I had seen at Pink

Mountain so I decided to study the differences between Willow and Rock Ptarmigan later that night. I

collected good photos that I could use and went back to Stewart and checked into a small hotel. My

daughter had not been able to shower since the hot springs and she was threatening near death if I

didn’t provide a shower. As it turned out, it was the right decision because it started raining later in the

day. After supper, we went back to the bear viewing area and were rewarded by a large Grizzly who

caught 3 salmon and ate them right in front of the 150 or so people who were gathered as spectators.

The viewers are confined to a raised board walk and the bears get to roam free at this location. I was

quite impressed with the set up including the design of the boardwalk allowing for everyone there to

have a good view of the action.

Fish Creek Bear Viewing area in Hyder, Alaska

The border issue at this location is quite comical. You drive from Stewart, BC into Hyder, Alaska without

stopping, visit the bear viewing area, and then continue across the border back into BC before the

Salmon Glacier area. On a map it looks like this:

Cars are stopped coming back into BC by the Canadian border authorities but I totally didn’t plan for

crossing any borders so didn’t have any ID for my daughter along. I had my driver’s license for me but

nothing for her. I ended up crossing 3 times over the two days there without any photo ID for her! Try

doing that at any other Canada/USA crossing! The second crossing occurs in the mountains on the way

to the Salmon Glacier and the border is marked by this simple symbol in the forest.

Day 7: The next morning we stayed in the hotel for most of the morning because it was raining and we

were waiting for my other brother Bill and his family who were camping nearby. We met up with them

around noon and did the same itinerary as the day before. The differences were much more birds along

the bear boardwalk at Fish Creek and confirmation by call that at least one of the ptarmigan families

above Salmon Glacier were Willow Ptarmigan. The same Grizzly Bear walked through after supper and

caught a couple Chum Salmon right in front of the gallery. A large Black Bear and a Mink made an

appearance near the boardwalk on this day as well. Wildlife along the Fish Creek:

Here are some Willow Ptarmigan from day 2 in the alpine above the Salmon Glacier parking lot. These

birds were a male and female with 4 young. I played a short male display call and the male answered

perfectly. We also saw 2 Hoary Marmot on the way up and 2 at the top as well.

My daughter and I slept in my brothers camp site that night and left early the next morning at 6:15 a.m.

Day 8: We left early heading south with no clear plan. I had a tight turn around before my next nature

outing and so had the idea of just driving all the way in one day in the back of my mind. In the end, we

did the 14.5 hour drive straight through from Meziadin Junction to Kamloops. On the last stretch we

spotted a Coyote beside the road bringing our mammal total to 18 species.
