PETE:  Today was spent enjoying more of the sights and sounds of Whitehorse, Yukon Territory.  We took in the MacBride Museum of Yukon History, Murals, the Yukon Transportation Museum, a bald eagle, and the longest wooden Fish Ladder in the World.   The ladder allows Chinook Salmon to continue their journey up the Yukon River that was dammed to provide hydro-electric power to Whitehorse.

After an enjoyable ample breakfast, we started the day by visiting the MacBride Museum of Yukon History.  Here are some of the sights from the museum

Many buildings in Whitehorse have been adorned with Murals.  Here is an example of two of those  Whitehorse Murals

The Yukon Transportation Museum houses a unique collection of artifacts depicting the Gold Rush transportation heritage.  Here are some photos of the Yukon Transportation Museum
