On day three of four travel days from Dawson Creek, BC, to Whitehorse, YT, we continued across the Canadian Rockies, crossing the only suspension bridge on the Alaska Hwy, partly constructed from salvage from “Galloping Gertie”, the old Takoma (WA) Narrows Bridge. Just a few miles past this bridge, we stopped the the Liard River Hot Springs. It was almost a half-mile walk from the parking area to the hot springs, but it was well worth it. You start at the lower hot spring, which is cooler, then work you way up into the upper hot spring toward the water fall where the hot water comes from. Few people ever make it to the falls as the water is too hot (in the picture, I’m at the falls between the lower and upper hot spring). Later we stopped off at a pull-off overlooking a wide stretch of rapids on the Liard River where we enjoyed lunch. At our destination, we had our usual Travel Meeting to prepare us for our final travel day to Whitehorse, YT, tomorrow, then enjoyed a dinner at the restaurant dining room followed by a Welcome to the Yukon Presentation.
