Back to Whitehorse

After a few days in Atlin we headed back to Whitehorse, but first we took a little stop at the Tarahne, which is oddly enough a small piece of the maritimes in Atlin. Well not really, it was co-owned by the Irvings (maritime old money for those of you not from home), but I would never have thought I would find anything connected to home in the tiny piece of mountain paradise.

On our drive back to Whitehorse we landed in the dessert! And I don't mean the tundra, I mean a real life Sahara/ Mohave dessert like dessert.

Never expected to see this in the northern mountains

Then after a long scenic drive we arrived back in Whitehorse where our plans took a huge curve ball... The plan was to go to a high ropes course and  zip lining, and tour the Klondike, but being the first week of fall tourism, the course was closed and the Klondike was closed forever. So instead we did a little low key tourism like..

A walk through the woods to a little suspension bridge

Over a fast moving gorge 

Then we found a totem poll in down town Whitehorse....

IT IS REALLY BIG!!!

Then we headed to the Klondike... although we were not allowed inside, we did get some pictures of the outside. The sky was wicked that day and made for beautiful pictures, but as you will see in the next post, a very rainy day the next day!

Up next! ZOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!

Cheers!
