Horsing around in Whitehorse

Wow, two nice days in a row! Sunny with temps in the 40s this morning but got up to the 70s this afternoon.
We slept in this morning until 8:30am, our bodies are still on Alaska time. Nancy and I went geocaching and sightseeing today. Our first geocache took us to Miles Canyon, a very narrow canyon of volcanic rock.


The water is incredibly clear and swift.












Later we went into Whitehorse to look for some more geocaches, check out the visitor center, shop and eat lunch.

After lunch we went to the fish ladder and the dam near town. The salmon won't be here for two more weeks since they have to travel over 1800 miles of the Yukon river to get here. Only a few hundred salmon make it this far up the river.




After a few more unsuccessful geocache searches we headed back to camp. We had a nice steak dinner at the campground.
We actually had darkness last night for the first time in weeks.
