A Guide to the Alaska Highway ("Alcan")

This was the closest I've ever been to a bison - she was in the middle of the road, perhaps 6 feet from my car window, and showed no nervousness at all - if she had, I wouldn't have risked taking this shot! Altogether I saw about 150 bison, with 2 large herds and many smaller groups and stragglers, most of them within 50 km of the springs. This photo was shot on March 23, 2007 during a trip from Whitehorse to Liard Hot Springs and back - that trip has its own blog post.
