Northern Lights in Dawson City
Hi Travellers!
We reached Dawson City on Wednesday evening and have stayed until today. We have had a great time here and were able to see a bit of northern lights while in the town, and from our hotel room. Pictures will be coming soon. We’ve also got a good collection of pictures of the town, the dancehall girls at the casino (Canada’s first legalized gambling estabilishment). No sourtoe adventures (there’s only a 2 hour window in the evening), but we’ve got another night in town on the return trip.
Today we are heading off to the Dempster Highway and somewhere in the next few days we’ll be doing a backpacking trip in Tombstone Territorial Park. We are really excited about this leg of the journey and after talking to a local photographer we got some info on where the caribou and other animals are at the moment so we are feeling good about our chances for some great wildlife photography. For those of you who haven’t heard of Tombstone Territorial Park you should check out the photos of Robert Postma for some great ones of the park and the north. The colours are changing late this year so we might get the best pictures on the return trip rather than the trip up. As a spell of good luck, the clouds are clearing and the aurora are forecast to be active again tonight and tomorrow. Hopefully we’ll find a great camping spot for viewing!
More soon!
