Sept 17, 2005 - Saturday
Riding around Whitehorse, YT
This is a down day - nothing much going on. Tomorrow is a
trip
down to Skagway (~ 2 hours away) to ride the train. I
explored
the west side of the river a day or two ago so today I'll look at the
east side of the river. Off to the dam to see what it's like
then
over to the east side of the lake. Later I headed north to
Long
Lake. The road it is on is harsh gravel and rocks.
The wooden structure that looks like a ramp is a fish ladder.
Light shining through the water as it rushed showed how much
water was flowing. It showed up in the picture too.

Leaving the dam, heading up and over the hill to the east side of the
lake. The area is a park / day use area with picknic spots
near
the lake.
Not too long the road narrows... Nice sun filtering through
the trees.
Not a path to take when it's wet.
Boat launch to the lake
A better view of the city from the south
Long lake - Northeast of the city.
Smaller, no motorized boats
