Having lived here we’ve made this flight many times but are still stirred by its magnificence and hair-raising closeness to the mountains.
We’re staying with our former neighbor, Betty Hather. We had a nice visit before we walked about navigating the throngs of people from the massive cruise ships invading and over-populating this tiny town.
We needed provisions and permits for our hike on the Chilkoot Trail. We also needed train tickets to get from trail’s end to Whitehorse. Unfortunately, the train doesn’t run on Monday the day we were schedule to end our hike. So we spent the rest of the day scurrying to get ready to leave tomorrow a day early.
