McIntyre Park Mayo, Yukon, Canada

Mileage:  46,973

A crisp and cool morning like autumn at home.  The Silver Trail and McIntyre Park was a short drive from Moose Creek on relatively decent roads.

The Silver Trail follows the Stewart River.

The Yukon has an abundance of natural resources.  Silver was mined here as well as gold, zinc, and lead.  The town of Mayo provides service and support to “continuing mineral exploration in this area.”    We drove into town and got a couple of groceries.  There were some 4WD roads to explore along the river.

We walked in McIntyre Park.   Our campsite.

This is what I call “Bear Point.”  There is ample evidence that bears live here.

We watched this pair of big raptors.  We believe they are immature bald eagles.

An evening ride.

We were going to grill our dinner tonight but we decided to cook inside because we didn’t want to attract any unwanted visitors.  I have been sitting across the water all afternoon watching for bear activity.  Sitting by this particular river today has been soothing.
