Day 108 – Wandering through Whitehorse

Another cloudy morning paired with rain and snow accompanied me as I journeyed south towards Whitehorse. I stopped in at Takhini Hot Springs on the way where I took a nice dip in the steamy pool as snowflakes gently fell above me. It was a refreshing way to start the day, for I had plenty of ground to cover.


I made it into Whitehorse and began to wander through the city. Sadly all the tourist attractions were closed for the season but I still got some exploring in. I ventured to some unique sites such as the SS Klondike and the Old Wooden Church, places I’ll hopefully be able to walk inside one day.


As I made my way out of the city the clouds began to break apart, revealing blue skies that were a welcomed change from the dreary weather. The roads guided me through a land of thick forests and pristine lakes, all to the backdrop of snow covered mountains that towered over the land.


Dusk quickly turned to darkness as heavy clouds returned to snuff out the remaining light. I pushed on for a while before taking a moment to rest my eyes. That brief stop turned into a full nights sleep, I guess I’d been more exhausted than I thought.
