Whitehorse, YT

07/10 – 07/12/19 We headed to Whitehorse in the Yukon. J&J and Bob stayed at a park a few miles outside of Whitehorse. Mike and I opted for a park just outside the city limits so we could ride our bikes around town. We spent the first day taking care of business, washing our clothes etc. We visited with a couple who had sailed around the Northwest sounds and up the Northwest passage. Mike and I then took our bikes for a ride around Whitehorse to see the sites and check out the town. They have wonderful bike and hiking trails. Our town ride took us along the River and over to the Visitor Center. We also found a great used book store called Well Read Books. They had some local talent playing live music and great prices. We picked out a few books to add to our library and continued our ride. We stopped at the local fish hatchery and saw the longest fish ladder in North America. And rode past an old paddlewheel steamer. We talked with Bob and J&J and planned to meet up the next day. Mike and Jim opted for a Bike Ride while Jackie and I took Slim and Sierra to explore the Miles Canyon Trail & Bob took his truck to town for a oil change. Jackie and I planned on meeting up with the boys either along the way or after our hike. We never saw them as we stayed along the narrow rim trail and they took the bike trail. After our 9.8 mile trek we drove into town while the dogs slept and met the boys at the Yukon brewery. They were really happy we showed up as they were not looking forward to riding up the long hill back to our RV Park. As it was getting to be dinnertime we headed over to have some Pizza and share the sites of our day. We all agreed Whitehorse is a very cool town.
