Day 6

Today we travelled from Liard Hot Springs through Watson Lake and the famous Signpost Forest to Teslin.

Signpost forrest at Watson Lake.

We encountered a large herd of wood bison along the road and had to come to a complete stop as a bull with a bum leg crossed in front of us.

Saw three bears munching their way through the fireweed along the road. Stopped at Whirlpool Canyon on the Liard River.

Lovely viewpoint on the way into Teslin after crossing the continental divide. The two watersheds drain to the Beaufort Sea (Arctic Ocean) through the Mackenzie River and the Bering Sea through the Yukon River systems.

Driving into Teslin.

We spent the night at the Yukon Motel and RV Park on the shore of Teslin Lake. Enjoyed a wonderful outdoor dinner with warm wind and a lovely sunset.
