G - Reporting

Woke to a very wet and misty day which made us thankful we got our sightseeing in the day before, the route out of town went up and over a pass and into an area of high alpine aptly called "moonscape" as it was very strange looking with lots of exposed rock and small twisted trees and right in the middle of it all the Canadian border post, can't be the nicest place to work in winter!

Back in Canada we stopped at the tiny town of Carcross which seems to completely rely on tourists coming in by the train from Skagway on day trips because there was really nothing else there, apart from just north of town a small but perfectly formed sandy desert complete with massive dunes, which looks really strange against the alpine back drop apparently it was the bed of lake formed in the last ice age.

Then it was really just covering ground heading towards Watson Lake, stopping about 50km south of town to camp for the night.
