After a night of mosquitos and howling wolves, we packed up as fast as we could before being eaten alive and headed for Whitehorse. The roads were great, with only a few very short broken sections. A lot of RV traffic. Landscape was very flat to start off, with signs of forest fires. As we got closer to Whitehorse, the hills got larger and rivers flowed in the valleys below. Weather was very nice, but a little cool (65 degrees) and the clouds started to form. As we got to Takhini Hot Springs, the weather was nicer. We had a shower and went into the natural hotspring pool. Tomorrow, we are off the Whitehorse and then to Nairn for another hotspring location.
Gas:
Carmacks, YK $1.139/li 10.378 litres $11.82 total
Takhini Hot Springs, $25 plus $7 to use hot spring pool
The weather started off nice and started to cloud over. Temperature was in mid 60's
Road from Stewart Crossing to Takhini Hot Springs was excellent except for a few very small dusty, loose gravel section
