And then we hit the Alaska Highway. And then went to Liard Hot Springs, where I didn’t take any photos. And then I tried and comprehensively failed to hitch the Robert Campbell Highway and instead got a ride to Whitehorse.
Woop!
Scenery got much more mountainous.
Then we came across this poor guy eating rocks. Not gonna survive the winter, unfortunately.
Then the lakes started.
A fact I was pretty pleased about.
Then we got to Watson Lake, where the visitor centre is famous for its signpost forest. There are more than 80,000 signs there.
The Robert Campbell Highway starts right from the signpost forest. It’s an isolated dirt road to some small communities in some apparently beautiful scenery…
…but after standing in about this spot for literally a day and a half, I was forced to give up and head on the main road to Whitehorse instead.
Somewhere on the way to Whitehorse.
The Yukon River in Whitehorse.
Paddleboat!
And again.
Then I left Whitehorse heading north towards Dawson City.
Past yet more lakes.
And that’s all you’re getting.
