10th Canadian Stop - Whitehorse, YT

We were in Whitehorse, YT for a few days.  Largest city in YT with 26,000, which is more than half the people in the YT.  Nice town with everything you need.

We passed thru more mountains on the way here: 

And, just north of the town of Teslin, there was a Tlingit Heritage Center that highligts 200 years of Inland Tlinglit history.  We did not go in but they did have 5 outdoor totems representing Wolf, Eagle, Frog, Beaver, and Raven.  Here are two of them:

We crossed over the longest bridge on the Alaska Highway in Yukon Territory at Nislin:

We found our CG just east of Whitehorse, got setup, and then drove into town to get the lay of the land.

On Friday night, we went to dinner at the best restaurant in Whitehorse (according to their advertisement) and had ribs and prawns - both were excellent.  Quite impressive, isn't it?

After dinner we walked around the town for awhile until around 8PM when we went to a Frantic Folies show which was a ‘Gay 90s” review featuring high-kicking Can-Can girls , hilarious skits and rollicking good humour (as the brochure says) and it was!

On Saturday we took in the sights: saw a 'log skyscraper' (Yukon's first highrise):

 and an old log church (the original Anglican Church that now houses a museum describing the introduction and spread of Christianity in the Yukon):

We toured the S.S. Klondike, one of the largest sternwheelers to travel the Yukon River:

We started at the lowest level and worked our way to the top - the guide was extremely knowledgable.

This was down below where all the controls were:

Only 1st class passengers could be in here:

The lower level of the ship was loaded as if it were still in operation:

 After we left the boat, we went to the Yukon Brewing Company for a tour, but found out that they do not give tours on Saturday.  So we did the next best thing - bought a couple  of beers for later.  They were very good.

On the way back to the CG, we walked down to Miles Canyon and crossed the suspension bridge:

There are alot of trails that you can follow from here (we didn;t):

I think that about does it for this day.
