ON THE ROAD TO SKAGWAY

So Hi everyone  Just wanted to let everyone know that the we have not posted much on the blog in the last few weeks because we have been in Northern B.C and the Yukon and there is not a lot of cell service and the wifi is satellite and unrealiable and slow.  I could type on the blog but not download any pictures so I chose to wait till I had good wifi to catch up  Enjoy our journey because we certainly have

Today we got an early start and drove to Skagway, Alaska   1st stop Emerald Lake which the pictures do not do it  justice.    It is absolutely beautiful and the name says it all

2nd stop was  the Carcross Desert.  I know - who would have thought there was a desert in the Yukon- but check out the pictures.  We had seen a story on tv on Planet Earth about the Carcross Desert so it was a must see.

The drive was not quite what we had expected - it was so much more.  The scenery was AMAZING AND SPECTACULAR   There were waterfalls on the side of the road and lakes everywhere and the most interesting was being in the high alpine with the summit about 3200 ft
Cannot describe how it looks but it was amazing.  check out the pictures below.  We were both blown away by the beauty we were lucky enough to enjoy.  The day could not have been more perfect as temp was around 29c with a slight breeze
Spent a few hours in Skagway but found it to be a typical cruise ship destination so we left early so we could enjoy the beautiful scenery on the way back to Whitehorse.  And enjoy we did.
