Teslin is a small town on the shore of Teslin lake, and is home to the Teslin Inland Tlingit First Nation peoples. There’s a big cultural center there, but it isn’t open for the season yet, so maybe next time. It’s a small town, with a really big bridge.
There’s a rest area with a viewing platform above the town, and I was fascinated by some of the international graffiti there on large boards that seem to be there for that purpose.
.At the Teslin motel, there’s a great wildlife museum with some really nice animal mounts on display. Worth stopping for!
Carcross (which is short for Caribou Crossing) is another neat little town between Watson Lake and Whitehorse. It’s a great stopping point on the way down to Skagway, Alaska.
Be sure to visit the sourdough bakery, the general store (said to be the oldest store in the Yukon) and the Carcross trading post, a gallery of very unique metal art.
Near Carcross is a miniature desert complete with sand dunes (really??) and several gorgeous emerald green lakes.
On to Skagway tomorrow!
