Yesterday we had booked a flight seeing trip with a glacier landing but when we arrived at the airport we were told that it was too windy and cloudy and thus the flight was cancelled. No Mount Logan, the highest peak in Canada, for us.

We were disappointed but had a fabulous day anyways. At the Tachal Dhal Visitor Centre we were able to see Dall Sheep in the distance on the mountain. A telescope on the porch of the visitor center helped us see these beautiful animals grazing with their young. Our cameras unfortunately didn’t get as close as the telescope. Look for the little white spots in the clearing below.

We discussed at length whether to go for a hike, but given the strong winds and flying sand we decided against it and moved on.

At Haines Junction we stopped at the Village Bakery for soup and a Bison cheese dog.

Puppies! Our next stop was about 20km outside of Whitehorse at Muktuk Adventures. This is a place for ‘People who love dogs!’. They have approximately 120 huskies which are used as sled dogs in the winter and trail adventures in the summer. We opted for the self-guided tour which meant we got to play with and pet 120 adults and puppies, all with their own personalities! What fun!

Exhusted and covered in doggy kisses we headed off to Takhini Hot Springs to soak in their pools.

Back in Whitehorse we replenished our fridge and cooked a delicious Indian chicken dinner.
