Along the Alaska Highway there are few signs, no major intersections, some dirt/sand turnouts, with or without comfort facilities. The verge on each side varies from average, 10 to 12 feet beyond the shoulder to extremely wide, 40 or 50 feet to the trees. Often the shrubs have grown up in this area but not many trees. the trees are mostly blacxk spruce, thin and not very tall. as we got closer to Watson Lake a sign said "Prepare for Bears in Road" Then along a stretch where we could not slow down or stop we saw a black bear next to the trees. As the cars RVs and trucks went by, it glanced around and then continued foraging.
A short time later there was a brown bear where Donna and Kay, who was riding with her, took a few photos.
