Follow my trip around Western Canada and Alaska either by scrolling down this page, or by pressing the ? on the map below. Please note that by pressing the ? in the British Columbia area a new map from this particular province will guide you further. You can also just enjoy the pictures in my album. These pictures are chosen out from a gallery of over 1000 pictures but I hope it will give you an idea of the beautiful and unspoiled nature "over there".
