Whitehorse Travel Blogs

Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Day 1, Destination: Whitehorse.... Success!!!! So today is the big day! We wake up at 6:00 and get ready to hit the road. Our goal was to get on the road before 8:00 a.m. It was hectic, but we got the kids up and ready, the dogs went and did their business and we left the hotel just a little after 8:00. We stop at the gas station and fill up the gas cans and head for the weigh station. For those of you who don't know, we have to drug our dog Reggie because when he gets in the car [View Full Entry]

The very next day however, I get my first sketchy hitching experience. Now resolved to hitching all the way to Whitehorse, I am a couple of lifts out of Dawson Creek, where I spend a couple of fruitless hours in the hot sun with my thumb out and insects all around me. I am rapidly losing heart, when a battered red pickup almost runs me off the road as it stops. A First Nation guy with a baseball cap, black shades and stubble opens the door, and I get in. This, it turns out, was a mistake. We set off, and [View Full Entry]

As I previously said, when I left Dawson I wanted to start heading for home in the most direct way. I headed down from Dawson to Whitehorse, where I got back on the Alaska Highway. I ended up putting on over 400 miles and camping on Teslin lake in the Yukon. I was back driving through the Northern Rockies, which is a very beautiful, remote area. It is chock full of mountian goats, bears and moose. Having gone through the Northern Rockies on my way north, I kept thinking these are the Grandpa mountains of the Rockie Mountain Range. They must [View Full Entry]

We spent the last couple of days in Atlin. A Historic Gold Rush town, right on the water. We had the penthouse campsite. Right on the point, overlooking the bay. It was 75 miles of partially paved road. This keeps away most of the tourists. There weere several historic buildings from the early 1900's still in use. We were lucky enough to have dinner at the new, and only, restaurant in town. They had a Prime Rib special taht was some of the best Prime Rib that we have had in a long time. Then we went to a BlueGrass performance [View Full Entry]

We got on the road at 8:30, with about 650 km ahead of us. We were still playing catch up from the whole tire fiasco in Grande Prairie. We had fallen about 80 km short of our intended destination of Liard River provincial park and their hot springs. So the first order of business was to stop at Liard and have a quick soak in the sulphur spring pool. There are 2 pools there and depending which one you go to, and where you sit in it, the water temperature ranges from 40 to 65 C. These are completely natural pools [View Full Entry]

By the way, If you ever make this trip, I highly suggest you plan to bypass the town of Watson Lake. Suffice to say, it’s a dump. That opinion may be influenced by the hotel I stayed in and the lousy internet connection. I heard from Lucy about this and she enjoyed her stop here. After leaving Watson Lake, I stopped at a great place for breakfast, called Nugget City, with a pretty cool gift shop and a great café: the Wolf It Down Café. Thanks again to Bryan for loaning me his copy of “Milepost.” It is THE bible for [View Full Entry]

Today is the final day of preparation, tomorrow I leave for Vancouver at 7am, and from there onto Shanghai. This being a geek trek getting all my gadgets charged and organized, Apps installed, and itunes play lists setup, is really my top priority for the day. When i setup my countdown timer on iGoogle it started at 180 days, I must admit part of me never expected to open up firefox and see it say "1" day, but it is finally here. Now all that's left to do is setup my out of office and watch the clock. [View Full Entry]

ADVICE North America » Canada » Yukon » Whitehorse
HI, my name is Wil! I am from a small town community called Teslin (population 250ish) in Yukon, Canada. I am only 17 years of age and I am looking for any advice on travelling in South America. As soon as I learned about Machu Picchu, I said to myself that I had to visit Peru to see it with my own eyes. I love learning cultures and different religions. The Inca people are very simular to my culture when it comes to beliefs and ceremonies. To be honest, I do not have much ambition for school. In fact, I [View Full Entry]

Tuesday August 26 - Thursday August 28 We arrived in Whitehorse earlier than scheduled due to the flight from Dawson. We took a ride on the waterfront trolly, checked out the visitor center and the local museum. That evening we enjoyed the Frantic Follies. On Wednesday morning we visited a local animal reserve and that afternoon met our friend Charlene who treated us to a tour of Whitehorse. Winter comes early in the Yukon the first snow of the season has already frosted the higher elevations around Whitehorsee. That evening we gathered for our farewell dinner. We said goodbye to Sherrie [View Full Entry]
