In the Skky hotel in Whitehorse again

28 juni 2018 - Whitehorse, Canada

After a almost 12000 km through beautifull northwest Canada I"m back in the Skky hotel in Whitehorse.  Here I could get proper internet for 5 dollar (24 hours). First time this holiday  ;-)

I returned my car in the morning and had a nice dinner in the Korean restaurant in the hotel.  Also I could uploaded a lot of video's so please look there too.

Now some pictures from the last week.

Below 3 pictures from the Top of the World Highway to the border with Alaska.

Since I planned a Canada only holiday I turned my Car just in front of the Customs Building. Nobody came after me  ;-)

I tried if my camouflage colors worked, but I don't think so.

dawson_with_midnight_dome_in_center_where_I_took_pictures_too Dawson from across the river.  The hill in the center is the Midnight Dome, from there I took pictures before.

crowded_camp_ground_Goldrush_in_Dawson This is the campground were I stayed earlier for 2 nights.  very crowded, like a parking lot,  But advantage is that is is in the middle of dawson and only a 2 minutes walk to the Gambling Hall / Can Can show. So very good for having a beer there.

In Dawson the clear Klondike river meets the muddy Yukon River.

The muddy one wins

A not so clear picture of  a sandhill Crane,  I saw this going to an airstrip of the road.  there were no planes only 2 of these.

at whitehorse they have a fish ladder ( with Salmon art)

Fish Ladder WhitehorseSalmon Art

Salmons are already going upstream to their birth grounds/waters.  The need 3 months to go through alaska where they are now to up the rivers in yukon.

when they are at the fishladder you can see them through windows in the visitor center, now you see only water  ;-)  but still interesting.

the ladder is to get around a hydroenergy plant

And now it is time to close.  repack my stuff for the travel tomorow.

From home I might add more foto's and video's
