Alaska Part 6; Yukon, heading home August 8th – 13th

We found John a sled for the Iditarod race, now he just needs the dogs.

Tok, there was a very nice lady to greet us to a bizarre collection of the areas history. This was the one main attraction in the town.

Suspension bridge Miles Canyon, Whitehorse YT. Lots of hiking paths around here, could spend a full day here.

The water here was clear and the scenery beautiful.

Floatplane base, it was fun seeing so many in one place. We drove about a mile down the road and there was another strip of them.

This is the longest wooden fish ladder. The salmon leave the Bearing Sea in early summer and travel over 2,000 miles up the Yukon River to get here. We could see some of the chinook salmon at the bottom of the ladder but none were going up when we were there.

Whitehorse, The plane, the plane, watch out John. Really it’s supposed to be the worlds biggest weathervane

Watson Lake Yukon, Canada, sign forest, we made our mark, can you find us? According to the tally in the visitor center there 88,186 signs as of September 2018.

Date night in the Yukon, we went out to see the educational film at the Northern Lights Center, titled The Aurora Borealis. Best views of them live, September to February, brrr, I think I liked the film just fine.

On our way to Fort Nelson we had to slow down for this heard as they were hanging out on the road.

Fort Nelson, not much to do, went on the Interpretive hike and found lots of different big, bigger than my hand (and little) mushrooms, like we said not much there. We also came across some really big hoof prints and bear scat along the trail.
