Fall in The Yukon

During our short drive to Whitehorse Tuesday, September 5th the meadows, regrowth fire burned forests, the red fireweed along the roadside and mountains were drenched with sunlight.
We arrived before 1PM. Enjoy the photos however they do not paint a true picture!

When we arrived in Whitehorse we checked the fish ladder but it was closed as the fish had all completed their treck to spawn.

The arrangements have been completed to have our halibut and salmon shipped to Durham, Ontario and stored in our family's freezer. We will be having a dinner of freshly caught fish when we return to Ontario in October.
