Day 10 - Haines Junction - Yukon

Animal count - plus 2 x Moose

Delta Junction to Haines Junction, the longest day we have planned on our itinery and the forecast was pretty gloomy but again the weather god's played their hands and dealt us a sunny day. We skirted around some huge black clouds and were able to watch full storms develop and play out before our eyes.

We back-track for 2 days but the views are just as stunning in the reverse direction with the Alaska Range on our right hand side all the route today. Kluane Lake was fabulous and we were surprised to see that stretches of the lake that were still frozen over 2 days ago have now thawed and just azure, glacial water remains.

Our cabin for the night is Kathleen Lake Lodge and after the luxury of the last few nights its back to the reality of the road. This place has amazing views but very poor wifi and no TV so catching up on weather/road reports & global news is a little difficult. What it lacks in 21st century bling it makes up for with beauty, I am sitting at our cabin table and cannot count the glaciers I can see through the window.

A shorter day is planned for today as we head back through Whitehorse and may look into replacing the front tire as its starting to look a little bare......
