Day 90 - Wednesday August 16/17 (Written, formatted with photos, and posted on Tuesday September 5th at Prince Albert,SK) 

A travel day for us today, from Muncho Lake Provincial Park to a ‘boondocking’ site at the Petitot River, just 3km south of the BC/NWT border (map):

We were on the road at 10:15 under mostly cloudy skies, temperature 13C. Gassed up at Muncho Lake.

There was a lot of information in "Milepost" about alluvial fans/plains, from rivers flowing down out of the mountains, washing down sand and gravel. (photos)

As well, there was more information about “folded mountains”, particularly evident here at the northern end of the Rockies (we had first been introduced to ‘folded mountains’ while on the boat cruise on Waterton Lake in Waterton National Park/Glacier National Park (US), down at the ‘other end’ of the Canadian Rockies!) (photos)

We paused at Summit Lake, in Stone Mountain Provincial Park, the highest point on the Alaskan Highway (4,250 ft / 1295m), along a section of the highway that apparently was particularly difficult to build (photos)

We had a picnic lunch at Steamboat Mountain Summit, near the junction of the Alaska Highway and the Liard Highway. We turned north on the Liard Highway, heading to the NWT. We ran into TERRIBLE ROAD DUST as we continued on the Liard Highway, both before and in the (now requisite daily) construction area. 

We finally called it a day around 8:30pm when we found a delightful riverside sideroad at the Petitot River and ‘boondocked’ well off the highway.(photos)

Not a bad view for a free campsite
