Mile 809 Johnson's Crossing YT to Mile 985 Haines Junction YT

Day 24.....3,516 miles.....9 AM.....41 degrees

Johnson's Crossing to Whitehorse is around 76 miles  and the pavement is smooth....

Johmson's Crossing opened in 1949


Licensed to  sell Beer....for you Hat..."Wobbly Pops"


Smooth for 2 km....more loose gravel and road repairs


Our view to Whitehorse


Marsh Lake is the headwaters for the Yukon River


Famous river of the North...flows almost 2000 miles to the Bering Sea


Yukon River Bridge...coming into Whitehorse


Will stop in Whitehorse on our way back


This is the only Caribou we saw today


100 miles from Whitehorse to Haines Jct. and no fuel stops


Our first glimpse of Klune National Park


The pioneer bridge was left at Canyon Creek to view


They maintain the bridge for photo ops


We are actually seeing an extension of the Coast Range


The ragged spine marks the boundary between Southeaster Alaska and Canada


View of Mount Bratnober (6,313 feet)


Little Green Apple grocery store in Haines Jct...our fuel stop


Can't say much for our campground....but love the view


 HH with a view from the front window


 since it doesn't get dark you can watch it most of the night
