Drove from Teslin through Whitehorse to Takhini Hot Springs on the road to Dawson City. Stopped at the Tlingit Heritage Center just west of Teslin and met a couple of master artists and craftsmen. Spent a couple of hours looking at pictures, displays and current work.
Wonderful conversation and interesting application of native art and skills. Stopped for a walk and photo shoot at Miles Canyon on the outskirts of Whitehorse. The canyon was a dangerous bottleneck to river travel from the Pacific coast to the goldfields. The construction of a hydro dam in 1959 downstream removed the danger from Miles Canyon and the Whitehorse rapids.
Lunch and a beer or two at the “Dirty Northern” before heading out to the campground at Takhini hot springs.
Beautiful campsite for tenters. Watched a very large fox saunter through the site. There were signs asking people not to feed them…
