Whitehorse -Yukon

---

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 Moon, our tour director and the members of our tour group. The next day we flew to Vancouver. Our tour of Alaska and the Yukon officially ends with a night at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport.

Dawson from the Air
The tailing destruction that is visible from the air long the river banks near Dawson. The amount of damage that was done by dredge mining that was allowed until the 1960's is unbelievable. From the air it is visible for miles.
