Signpost City
The first landfall in the Yukon is Watson Lake. Really a whistle stop on the
Alcan, with gas stations and one grocery store, all with prices that cause you to catch your breath. This is also the home of the signpost city where travellers over the years have placed the name of their home town and other strange notices, on a piece of land that has become a major tourist attraction. Actually, the only one they have!
From Watson Lake its on to Whitehorse and the Klondike. The land continues to be reaonably flat, with glimpses of mountains off to one side or the other and occasional views across vast valleys.
