Southbound - Ep 04 - Alaska Highway Camps + Bears, Haines, Alaska | Overlanding the Pan-American

Famagogo, AKA the Holcombe family, wakes up on Thompson Pass outside of Valdez, Alaska, to dramatic views of the Chugach Mountains. This is a bucket list spot for adventurous van lifers. They check in on the Worthington Glacier to find it has receded since their last visit in 2016. They then push on to The Alaska Highway and discover spic camping off the old Alcan road. Autumn color is in full effect as the leaves are golden and falling. It's a great tour from Valdez to Haines at the prime time of year to be bug-free and with glorious fall color and really nice mid-September temperatures and weather. Once in Haines and Chilikoot State Park, they reunite with some of the Coastal Brown Bears they saw on a previous visit. This is a wonderful place to watch Grizzlies for free and on your own schedule. After 3 days of bear watching, they board the Alaska Marine Highway ferry for their next destination going south.
