After being home for 5 months and feeling well integrated into Canmore life, we were ready to continue our travels. Having travelled to 5 continents on the first trip, only 2 continents remain: North America and Europe. We chose the Yukon and Alaska as the new places for North America. The Yukon is the only province/territory in Canada that neither of us has visited. It has been on our bucket list for years, but we had always envisioned it as a driving trip for which we would want a minimum of a month. We decided that instead of waiting, we would fly and do 9 day "Yukon/Alaska Teaser" .
We started our trip with a visit with Auntie Min and Uncle Jim at their Timberpoint property. Their land is stunning and their hospitality warm and welcoming.
We were keen to camp at the campground on their land, but couldn't turn down the offer to stay in a beautiful little cabin instead. It was reminiscent of a brand new warden cabin. Auntie Min's friend bought, moved it to their property and stays there when she visits.
We were treated to moose stew and baked salmon for suppers. Uncle Jim was our tour guide showing us the sites of Teslin and taking us on a hike to a summit with 360 degree scenic views.
Both Auntie Min and Uncle Jim have a wealth of knowledge about the Teslin area and its history. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing their stories about the area and life in the Yukon.
