Cycling Whitehorse, Yukon to Anchorage, Alaska via Dawson City.Stage Pelly Crossing - Moose Creek following Klondike Highway northbound.One of the most epic cycling routes of the world. |
Sunrise in Pelly Crossing. The campsite is located directly on the river bank, is very quiet and offers the opportunity to meet interesting people: It was one of those evenings yesterday with lots of red wine, interesting company and the exchange of memories of distant places that we and our camping neighbors too visited different times. The campsite is great, but you shouldn't expect a shower here. |
Today we start crossing the Pelly River. |
|
After about 70 km we reach Stewart Crossing. Here, where the Klondike Highway crosses the Stewart River, there is a branch to Mayo and more importantly, there is a small shop with hot coffee. |
Stewart Crossing has a bridge over the Stewart River since 1955. |
North of the Stewart River, the Klondike Highway is quite flat. Hardly any ingredients, but the wind doesn't always come from behind. |
We spend the night in Moose Creek. Here, too, we are lucky enough to be able to talk to very interesting people. |
