Teslin, YT to Whitehorse, YT


After breakfast we went to the Yukon Wildlife gallery adjacent our campground. They have a wonderful display of taxidermied animals in recreated natural habitat scenes.

Next we wanted to visit the George Johnston Museum with its photo gallery of Tlingit life from the 1920s to 1940s. Unfortunately a power failure at the gallery meant it was closed.

We returned to the Tlingit Heritage Centre and talked to a few of the workshop leaders about traditional crafts and smoking salmon.

It was now time to continue our drive to Whitehorse but we had to stop at the Johnson’s Crossing Lodge and RV Park to taste their famous cinnamon buns made from the original 1949 recipe. Their scones also looked good so two of them joined us on our trip and will be breakfast tomorrow.

We made it to the Caribou RV Park just outside of Whitehorse were we will be spending two nights. They have an outhouse with a with an interesting and amusing sign on the door.

Right next door is the Wolf’s Den restaurant which has Swiss specialities. We couldn’t resist and enjoyed a delicious cheese fondue (although Martin’s homemade one is still much better).
