Up early to board the White Pass-Yukon Route Railroad from Skagway, Alaska to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory in Canada.

The trip is approximately 2 hours with breathtaking views. As we move along we climb to White Pass Summit (2,888 ft) past continental divide.

After crossing into Canada and going through customs, we disembark train for our waiting bus to head to Whitehorse. Before arriving at Whitehorse, we stop at several scenic overviews. Scenery gets better and better.

After checking into hotel, Skip and I took a walk around town. Whitehorse is the capital of the Yukon Territory. Temperatures were warm. Shorts were the order of the day and into evening. As the Klondike Gold Rush brought many to make their fortunes in gold, copper was discovered in the hills of Whitehorse and the first copper claims were staked in 1899.Today McDonalds and Subway are part of the city. 
  We had dinner at the Klondike Rib and Salmon. Terry and Chuck from our group joined us. I had the appetizer called "Sticky Balls" - consisting of elk, bison and wild boar.

Very good!! Skip and I both had the elk stroganoff ! Another great meal!!
  Afterwards the four of us took a walk down by the Yukon River.

  Since this was just an overnight stay, early to bed and early to rise!! I am still having trouble adjusting to not only the time change but to the "midnight sun". In summer, it does not get dark here!
