Mawlers’ Big Adventure ’04:
Watson Lake to Faro - The Pictures


Here are some highlights of our trip between Watson Lake and Faro, where we drove up the Robert Campbell Highway, with side trips up the Nahanni Range Road (Cantung Road) and a brief jog up the North Canol Road to the Pelly River.

The other photos have been mostly amusing or documentary in theme, but these are more like landscapes. We are attempting to drop these pictures in between the narratives for each day, so they will crop up here and there.

  The Ross River welcome sign is reminiscent of the junk left out on the tundra by the US Army during the construction of the Canol Road and Canol Pipeline, which went through Ross River. The Canol Road is still here, but only goes to the border with the Northwest Territories.
