... Lake to see the campground and day use area. This is the only drive in campground in Kluane National Park. The campground is beautiful with several sites large enough for our big rig. Although there are no hookups, we kind of wished that we had spent a night here. As is typical of Parks Canada, there were large woodpiles available to use both in the campground and picnic area. The lake was equally beautiful ...

... ranges and icefields. Together with Glacier Bay National Park they form a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<br><br>Our first stop this morning was the park visitor center in Haines Junction. We saw a great video on the park and talked to the rangers about day hikes. This is a joint visitor center (common in Canada) with the Yukon territorial government. So, we also turned in our Yukon Gold Passports (we had secured ...

... 30 before we headed east on the Alaska Highway from Milepost 1314. We stopped at the border for pictures of the Alaska and Yukon welcome signs. Canadian customs was another 17 miles down the road. Other than the usual list of questions, the border crossing was uneventful. <br><br>This section of the highway was in terrible condition. There were several gravel sections and frequent frost heaves. Our windshield is now symmetrical with a ding on the right side ...

... by one of the local tourist traps: the Yukon Suspension Bridge. It's not even in the Yukon, it's in British Columbia; presumably it crosses the Yukon River. We pull in to check out the souvenirs, but don't see anything we can't do without, and rather than pay a fee to walk across a bridge (as we'd had our fill of that out there in the wild), we continue northward. <br> We're enjoying the lovely lakes and mountains, and ...

... this ancient volcanic rock which makes a small canyon of 50 feet. There is a neat suspension bridge for foot traffic only that goes across - and yes it does have a bit of swing to it. After a few pics and a walk of the dogs we went back a few miles to the camp and took off. The one negative thing I did notice about Whitehorse was the amount of graffiti. I guess kids get very bored here during the long winter. The road was easy but had ...

Destination 242: km124'960 Meine nachgeholte "Sunday Session" in Whitehorse erbringt nicht den gewuenschten Effekt: Bin weder gereist, habe keine Sehenswuerdigkeiten besucht und war nicht im Internet. Dafuer habe ich den Reifen gewechselt, das Motorrad ueberprueft und gewartet, Schreibarbeit verrichtet und mich umgesehen, um meine defekten Zeltstangen zu reparieren. So sehen meine Erholungspausen aus! Meine Reise nach ...

... it dawned on me that unless I end up taking the Alaska ferry to Prince Rupert I will be returning to Whitehorse sooner that I thought because the Alaska Highway is the only route home. It was for that reason, that I also did not divert from the Alaska Highway to head north from Whitehorse on the Klondike Highway (Highway 2) to Dawson City. From there, I would have taken the The Top of the World (Highway No. 9) west to again join the Alaska Highway ...
