Sept 2 - 12 2004 - Road Trip from Vancouver to WhitehorseSetting off on Sept. 2nd, Gillian and I set out on a 5500km return trip to Whitehorse. The trip was amazing with spectacular views in one of the most beautiful places on this planet. Highlights included the scenery north of McKenzie, Liard Hotsprings, Whithorse itself, the road from Carcross to Skagway, and the road to Stewart/Hyder.
