Nobody seems to want to talk about the beauty of Northern British Columbia and the Yukon. It ranks right up there with Alaska.
Its a once in a lifetime trip, drive slower, and stay longer.
Well, it's because nothings as nice as Alaska! :B
In all seriousness, but in homage to Robert Service, I long since yielded to the allure of the North. Where is the North? Well, IMNSHO, it can be found in parts of the Hill Country in Texas, in Northern Idaho, in much of Montana, and in many places I'm sure I'm not aware of..
...but the North finds it's truest expression (again, IMNSHO, and with acknowledgement that we're just discussing on this continent) in Canada and Alaska....and that includes much of BC, all of the Yukon, all of the NWT, and the better part of Alaska. I have trouble putting Los Anchorage in the North generally and there are parts of Squarebanks, Talkeetna during Tourist Season, and much of SE during Tourist Season that don't qualify as the North.
But I would certainly rank Northern BC and The Yukon as attractive spots on par with Alaska.
