Views of Dawson City

We went to several different vista points to look down on the Yukon River and Dawson City.  It had started the day before with the view from the Top of the World Highway.  Then we went to the Crocus Bluffs, and the to the Midnight Dome above 2000 feet  All of them gave us a great feeling for what it was like.  The confluence of the Yukon and Klondike Rivers, the gold fields back up the draws on Bonanza and Eldorado Creeks.  The rivers come from different sources, and the glacier fed silt combines with the snow melt river to make a milky pattern in the water.



































On the far ridge is the Top of the World Highway





The Yukon headed north.
