This post will be the final “catch up” post…henceforth will be ‘current’….meaning life in Alaska!!!

The Yukon Territory is the westernmost and smallest of Canada’s 3 federal territories.  It is home to Mount Logan, the 2nd tallest mountain in North America at a little over 19,500 feet…second only to Denali, here in Alaska reaching a summit of over 20,300 feet!!!  We are talking HIGH…WAY up there!!!  Just as a frame of reference…Pikes Peak in the American Rockies stands at a smidge over 14,000 feet.
   Truth be told, our main interest in the Yukon at this point in the journey was that it was the last stretch of crazy roads before we arrived in Alaska!!!  We picked up the Alcan (Alaska-Canada Hwy) there and what an adventure that was!  Anyway, the scenery that we experienced was well worth the insane road conditions…mostly…LOL
   The pics will give you an idea of what the journey through the Yukon was like for us.  Enjoy!  See ya soon at the Museum of Alaska Transportation and Industry…our home for the summer.

OMG…we laughed so hard… a traffic light in the middle of the mountains!!!

The roads were extremely dry….we actually saw a few water spraying trucks along the way
