PETE: Today we took things slow and easy. It gave us an opportunity to sleep in and just catch our breaths. We visited the Miles Canyon Suspension Bridge that crosses the Yukon River and what a sight to behold. The water was so blueish green and we could have stayed there all day just relaxing and enjoying the vistas. Before the dam was built downstream in 1958 for a hydro-electric plant that services Whitehorse, Miles Canyon had foaming rapids which forced the stampeders to bypass the treacherous waters on the “Trail of ’98”. Miles Canyon rapids are now tamed and have been replaced with the Schwatka Lake reservoir.
While in Whitehorse, YT we are staying at the Hi Country RV Park. Like other parks here it is mostly gravel but there are plenty of full hookup pull thrus. Here we are relaxing with some new found friends, Terry and Debbie from Iowa and Henry and Grace from Ontario.
