Nahanni Range Road (Yukon)

From Watson Lake (Mile 634 on the Alaska Hwy) I turned north on the Robert Campbell Hwy. Sixty-seven miles up this highway the Nahanni Range Road branches off. This road leads to Tungsten, which is the location of a tungsten mine just across the Northwest Territories border, 125 miles away. 

I rode 42 miles up the Nahanni Range Road. I turned around because traveling by moped, I had only a certain amount of time available to me for the entire trip, and there were a lot of other places I wanted to travel to.

This page covers my trip up and back on the Nahanni Range Road. The next page covers the entire Robert Campbell Hwy.

The next day (June 30) I was stopped by rain. I turned around and headed south.

Some guys at a nearby mining exploration camp saw me and invited me to stay until the rain stopped, so long as the "boss" didn't stop in for a visit. I ended up being there for 2 days. I ate with the crew - foods that I would never have while traveling: roast beef, potatoes, fresh vegetables, and so on. What luxury!

When I got back to the Robert Campbell Hwy, I continued north toward Ross River.
