at Watson Lake – home of the Signpost Forest, where we spent overnight across the street from the Visitor Information Center, by the Forest, at the Signpost Services RV Park.

to travel by 97, again, in this route we went through Coal River, Liard River – and its fabulous Hot Springs – the wonderful Muncho Lake, Toad River, Summit, getting back to Fort Nelson where we camped one more time at Triple G Hideaway Campground.

In this region,
by the banks of the Kiskatinaw River, lies the Kiskatinaw Provincial Park – with 28 campsites, on the original Alaska Highway, near a historic wooden curved trestle bridge. It is one of the last remaining remnants of the original construction of the
Alaska Highway. The historic landmark is the longest wood curved bridge in North America and spans the extraordinary Kiskatinaw River, Visitors to the Provincial Park can take a stroll to the bridge.
