Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada - August 6, 2010

We got to Whitehorse in the middle of the afternoon and were glad that our hotel was easy to find, just down Two Mile Hill from the Alaska Highway. It was a Westmark, The Westmark Klondike. As with the Westmark in Tok, it was a Holland-American Line establishment and a bus tour was just coming in at the same time. Many of the rooms near ours had luggage sitting outside in the hall. Donna commented about how that reminded her of the cruise we took years ago.
We had dinner in the hotel and then out to look around Whitehorse a little. There is an old steamboat that had been used on the Yukon River on the shore as a landmark and historical item. The Yukon River has been tamed with a dam and power plant in the 1950s.
