Muncho Lake
Folded Mountain
Another cloudy day; continued south along the Alaska Hwy, with spotty rain. Stopped at Muncho Lake which was a pretty bluegreen even with the overcast skies. A little further on we passed Folded Mountain which is a beautiful example of the tortured upheaval caused by the collision between the North American and Pacific plates that gave rise to the Rocky Mountains. We passed several large herds of Stone Sheep browsing along the road and at times they blocked the road, but they were fun to watch.
Camped at Buchkinghorse River Wayside Provincial Park, BC (~120 mi NW Ft St Johns) via Rt 97
