Alaska-Canada-Alaska

There were several days in there where Sharlot and I were really confused about which country we were in, which currency to use, and what time it was with all of the shifting back and forth between Alaska and the Yukon and a corner of British Colombia. After crossing into Alaska and through Chicken on the Top of the World highway, we stayed for a night on this lovely lake at a free campsite that was part of the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge (though the only wildlife we really saw was a few ducks and ptarmigan).

Then we crossed back into Canada and drove along Kluane Lake...

...into Haines Junction and Kluane National Park. We took several short hikes in our too-brief time there...

...before heading south toward Haines, Alaska, crossing the border again, and (not necessarily in this order; who can keep track?!?) passing this amazing view point our over the Tatshenshini river valley.

From Haines, we took an Alaska Marine Highway ferry (I just love the concept of a marine highway, and how could you not when the setting is this gorgeous?)...

...to Juneau and then, the next morning, another on to the very small town of Gustavus, Alaska. But more on that, soon.
