heading back to the lower 48 via the Yukon

Back into Canada again. Bil thought he was in speeders heaven looking at the sign. That is until you realize it is kilometers and not MPH.
This was a monument and the first thing you see entering Haines Junction YT. It depicts the animals you can see in the Province.
More great countryside it the Yukon Territory.
The Ice field Range is the largest non polar ice field in North America.
Here you can see the Ice Field Range in the background.
This pretty pond had a couple of Trumpeter Swans setting in it. On closer look the one setting on the nest also had 2 little ones behind her.
Enlarge the photo and you can see the babies behind the one on the nest.
One of the many glacial fed lakes that make Alaska so pretty.

A couple of cars stopped on the road generally means someone has spotted an animal. This time it was a grizzly bear. He stayed in the area quite a while eating.He did take time from his eating to scratch his hind quarters on the small trees. You could really see them shaking.

This is typical scenery in both Alaska and the Yukon. Lots of lakes or creeks and hills and mountains.
Another beautiful day to see the countryside and hope to see animals.
This is Kluane Lake, the largest lake in the Yukon and is glacier fed as you can see in the photo below.The difference in color is due to the glacial water coming into the lake. It it is a grayish color until the silt settles and the water clears.
This is Mirror creek with a beaver house on the right. I did not get sky in the photo and had to look close later to see which way was up -if not for the beaver house I would not have known.
