Day Eight

Today was another LONG day. We decided to push it a bit trying to get ahead of the weather. It was supposed to snow. It didn't snow, but it was absolutely beautiful out. This area up here is incredible. No pictures do it justice. We are already excited to drive through it in the summer.

We finally made it into the Yukon. It was a welcome sight knowing that the next border is Alaska! We have seen many wildlife along the way. Mostly caribou and buffalo. The are such huge creatures and they aren't afraid of the cars. I can't wait to get to Alaska and have them in my backyard!

P.S. We are in Whitehorse, Yukon. It is the largest city around for hundreds of miles. It has a population of 25,000. The kids were glad to see a McDonalds again.
