Friday 9/09 - Skagway

We decided to go and visit Sgt. Preston of the Yukon, so we rented a car in Skagway and drove up to White Horse, Yukon Territory. We were disappointed.

Not only doesn't White Horse resemble the frontier town of our TV memory, it actually looks more like Breezewood, Pennsylvania than any place else we've been recently!

Fortunately, the drive to White Horse is breathtaking, especially in the fall when the trees are turning and the fireweed is going to seed.

The river gorges, the mountains, the glaciers and the forests are all very beauiful. It was hard picking a picture to put with this posting, but this one of Bove Island seemed to epitomize everything we saw this day. And the weather was absolutely gorgeous.
