Another subarctic experience when my travel buddy, Peter Roszak and I went
to Whitehorse,
Yukon on 02-03 February 2009. He wanted to see the
Aurora Borealis
(Northern Lights) but the weather did not give us any luck.
Fortunately for me, I already saw the Aurora when I went to
Yellowknife, Northwest
Territories on April 2008. At the
airport, we just had to look for the hotel transfer van. Since we
stayed at
Westmark Hotel, the transfer was free. For other hotels, the fare
was CD$10 per person. Distance from the airport to the hotel was about
8 kms (10 min drive) and it was located at downtown center.
In half day, we already ventured the whole of
downtown Whitehorse. We started at the
Macbride Museum (which was
closed at that time), the river trail, historic
Whitehorse
Train Depot, the
tourism/visitor center, and the
SS
Klondike. We had plenty of time going around the city twice.
We had bison and venison stew for dinner at
the High Country
Inn which was a 10 minute walk from our hotel.
Following day, we headed back to Toronto for
our supposed trip to Nashville, TN on
February 5.
