Day 10, Thursday, Sept. 3, 2009 - Whitehorse to Tok

Today we returned to Alaska traveling through the rugged mountains of KLUANE NATIONAL PARK, home to 19,625-foot Mount Logan, Canada’s highest peak. We then continued on the Alaska Highway to Tok, Alaska, the “Dog Sled Capital of the World.”

Dead trees as a result of forest fire along the Alaska Highway.  All throughout Alaska and the Yukon there were hundreds of square kilometers/miles of burnt forests - evidence of very large forest fires over the years.

These were the first Moose we saw on our Alaska/Yukon adventure.
