Bison, Sheep and BEARS YUKON

Today we drove from Muncho lake to Watson Lake. Muncho Lake is wilderness, Watson Lake is a city of 1500 people ;). We are staying at the Big Horn Hotel. We were lucky to find a place since it seems everything is booked up. The room is smoky but large and, other than the smell of smoke, clean. The cost is $104/night which seems to be a fortune for this hotel. They have wifi (hurray!) and their brochure advertizes "Frilly curtains and Blinds".

The day was spectacular. We saw 2 black bears:
















Bison (Right after seeing a sign warning about bison):

There were about 30 bison in 3 groups.
















And a grizzly bear!!!:

We are sooooo lucky.
















Yukon is a territory, not a province. There are only 30 thousand people in the entire territory. The big city is Whitehorse with 25 thousand people. This "city", Watson Lake has 1500 people.

The people in the visitor's center are helpful. Pick up a coupon in the visitor's center for $1 off of the Northern Lights show. The Northern Lights Center has a video of the northern lights. It is worth seeing.
