The red line is our cycle route and the dotted blue line is a side-trip we took to the Queen Charlotte Islands which we had heard much about from fellow cyclist who lives there.  Our cycle route entered Canada from Alaska close to Dawson City.  We cycled in a generally southerly direction keeping west of the Rockies until we reached the Yellowhead Highway.  This route took us along the Steward Cassiar Highway, which is an alternative route south to that of the Alaska Highway.  Although many sections are unpaved the extra effort was rewarded by beautiful mountains and the greatest amount of wildlife we have seen on the trip so far.  This included numerous black bears and moose.  We then headed east making the climb up from Mount Robson to Jasper in the Rocky Mountains from where we turned more southerly to pass along the Icefields Parkway before descending towards Radium Hot Springs and on into the USA.
