Dawson City, Yukon












Day 21 – 23 Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday August 9, 2016  Dawson City, Yukon
We left the Alaskan Highway and headed down the Klondike Highway to Dawson City, Yukon.  It’s a small dirt street city which was originally a gold rush town in
 the late 1800’s.  It’s now a tourist attraction.  The Klondike Highway stops in this town and you can take a free ferry across the Yukon River to pick up the Top of the World Highway which leads to Alaska. Our destination is to get on the Dempster Highway to Inuivik, Northwest Territory.  At present, that highway has been closed due to flooding.  We will wait here a few days to see if it reopens.  If not, we will take the ferry and continue on through Alaska.
Last night we went to Diamond Tooth Gerties Casino and Dance Hall and saw an excellent reenactment of years ago enterta
