July3rd - July 6th - Whitehorse and Haines Junction

Leaving Atlin we travelled thru Carcross, saw the desert and carried on to Whitehorse.
Along the way we stopped at a Rest Area with a short walk to 2 waterfalls.

As we had seen a lot of Whitehorse before we visited the Takhini Hot Springs and Miles Canyon.

The canyon takes the water of the Yukon River (at least as big as the Fraser) and forces it to flow down a narrow gorge.

 Tour guide explaining about the way the gold prospectors bypassed the canyon.
 A model of Mount Logan in the new visitors centre.
 The very prolific fireweed
 Our campsite looking onto Kuane National Park (frontrange).
Mountain views are not as clear as I would like due to forest fires.
