We left Valdez on what would be one of the longest, but most scenic days, on our way to Skagway.
Waterfalls and glaciers
Everywhere we rode, there seemed to be glaciers
We thought we could walk up to this one, like we did last year, as we rode thru the Icefield Parkway, in Alberta. There was a trail up to it, but it would have been a long, grueling hike. In our gear, forget it.
If you are interested...
As we made our way towards Skagway, we came across this place. A Russian-American lodge, store, campground (sort of), and decided to stop.
This place was literally in the middle of nowhere. It makes you wonder what kind of people live out here like this.
We recognize the bike outside, it's a couple from Mexico, that we've crossed paths with a number of times. They were dining on Russian cuisine and said it was delicious.
Neat little place inside.
I asked the Russian lady owner (forgot her name, but it was definitely Russian) how she ended up here, running a restaurant. She said she loved the location. I told here she wasn't fooling me and that she was really Anastasia Romanov, hiding from Putin and the Russian KGB. God she laughed at that! If you don't know the story, look up Anastasia Romanov.
After the Russian discovery, it was off on the road again. We stopped for some gas at a place with this view...
...and I took the opportunity to purchase a reindeer sausage hotdog. It was spicy and delicious, not gamey at all.
We finally crossed back into Canada and The Yukon
We made it as far as Haines Junction and holed up there.
