We crossed alot of borders today as we went from Alaska to BC to Yukon to BC to Yukon. Todays route took us from Skagway AK to Carcross BC to Tagish BC to Teslin BC, to Nugget City (just outside of Watson Lake YK). About 530 km.......a short day.
Rode up to the old Dyea about 10 km from Skagway then rode up White Pass that divides US and Canada. Weather was overcast with sprinkles and cool (8 to 14C). Landscape from top of White Pass to first Yukon-BC border was very stark but scenic. Very scenic to Carcross. After Teslin there wasn't much so we openned up the throttle and burned it to Nugget City.
Wandering around downtown Skagway. Very touristy.
Loading up the bikes to leave Skagway.
Lookout over Skagway.
Two cruise ships came in overnight. Town was very busy this morning.

Heading up White Pass.
US border post before actual border. Canadian border post was another 12 away on other side of actual border. What happened to border posts at the actual border???

Bleak and stark landscape on Canada side of border.
Canada border post 12 km from border. Mike getting grilled by the customs agent. He had to go in after for a full body-cavity search............just kidding
Going down to Bennet Lake. Howling tail wind but at least it was sunny.
Road going down
Yet another river crossing.
Back at Nugget City. Hard to believe we were here over 10 days ago......seems like just a few days ago.
