965 June 24, 2023 Skagway To Whitehorse To Destruction Bay

It was cloudy this morning in Skagway as I took my morning walk.  I took the pedestrian bridge over the river and into the woods. 

Overnight our Jeep was ducked!

It was deserted so I turned back and continued my walk through town.  When I got back to the campground, Tim was already warming the engine and pulling in slides.

We drove from sea level up to 3,292 feet; up into the clouds.

We went back across the Canadian Border, through a small portion of BC and back into Yukon.

We stopped for coffee at Carcross.  Soon after, we saw this mama bear and her cub.  Can you see the little ears sticking up behind her?

In Whitehorse we filled with fuel and then shopped at Walmart and for groceries.

We rested outside of Whitehorse and then drove on but not before installing our windshield protection.

The road was a little rougher in small sections.  Areas of concern are marked with orange signs and flags and cones.  Tim was also on the lookout for any change in the pavement color; another indication that there might be bumps.

We had the impressive peaks of the Kluane Range of the St. Elias Mountains for our scenery this evening. 

We made a right at Haines Junction to continue our journey on the Alaska Highway. 

The road was narrower with no shoulder.  Bright fuchsia sweetvetch grew along the edge.

We ate our dinner at a turnout.

We approached Kluane Lake and the dust was blowing across the road. 

There were warning signs for crosswinds, sheep in the road (though there were none), and falling rocks.

Kluane Lake.

It was 7pm and we were tired.  We found a home for the night in a scenic overlook.  Pink flowers, the aqua lake, snow covered mountains, tall green pines and blue sky made lovely pictures!
