A Day off in Whitehorse

Here is how we celebrated a non-driving day:

We started with a hike at Miles Canyon, which was a major challenge to the gold miners traveling through this area to get to the gold fields near Dawson and for Paige (she doesn’t like heights!). Not a long hike, just enough to see the gorgeous river color.

Then we went downtown for some coffee, shopping, sightseeing, and touristy stuff.
Sightseeing included the log “skyscraper”

Touristy was taking a guided tour of the “SS Klondike” which is a National Historic Site

Also “touristy” was seeing the worlds largest weathervane”

This DC3 pivots with the wind direction and always faces into the wind.

We finished the day by catching a vaudeville show at a hotel downtown. The Fabulous Follies was like an 1890s version of “Laugh In” with CanCan dancers. They used a couple of members of the audience for fun (thankfully neither of us).
Tomorrow will be a longer than normal driving day to get to Dawson City.  Hopefully we can get Internet access there as well.
