Christmas in July

Day 13

28 July

Whitehorse, Yukon to Tok, Alaska

623 km 8 hrs 34 min

Today was a fun day! After a little bit of driving we made a stop at Kluane River to stretch out and let the kids explore a bit. It was SO beautiful! I wanted to just stop for the day and set up camp right there, make a fire and roast some marshmallows and just take in the beautiful scenery. The kids had a blast finding rocks and tossing them into the water. Thankfully we got there when we did because after about 15 minutes a few tour busses pulled up and swarmed our spot. Thats ok though because I was able to get some good pictures before they arrived.

After the lake we stopped for a late lunch at Buckshot Bettys, the only place in Beaver Creek to eat. Cute little place! Once our bellies were full we headed for the Canada/Alaska border. Thankful to be back in the US! A short drive after that we were in Tok, Alaska, our stop for the night. We checked out a gift shop and then checked into the hotel and went to get some more food before heading to bed. The hotel we are staying in is only open from May-September, so right now they are decorated for Christmas! Of course the kids love it! ;)

So good to finally be in ALASKA! Tomorrow we make the drive to Anchorage (and possibly a drive-by our new home in Wasilla?;)
