Today was Travel Day 1 of 3 from Skagway, AK to Iskut, BC. To start, we had to climb for 16 miles out of Skagway, Elevation 0, up and over White Pass, Elevation 3290. Once over the Pass, we had to go through Canadian Customs. For the next 15 or 20 miles, we were driving along the Summit Lakes. At one point, a bear walked out onto the road, then off and back on again. Marcia was finally able to get some pictures of a bear. Later, near Carcross, YT, a moose crossed the road in front of us, but, being a shy animal, disappeared into the woods before we could get a picture. We stopped at Crystal Lake for some pictures, a beautiful multicolored lake, then headed into Whitehorse, YT and did some grocery shopping before checking into the campground. Once set up, we did some laundry. The evening ended with a Steak BBQ Dinner provided by the campground.
