Tuesday 19/3/2019 Fish Lake
Whitehorse, Yukon, CANADA
Participants: Anne-Marie DaSilva, Walter Brennan, Stephen Davies (Photos), Sue Davies (Report)
The trailhead for this walk is a short drive from Whitehorse. We headed off on a stunningly clear day. The trail gradually climbed through forest until we were above the tree line. We kept climbing onto a rocky ridge with fantastic views of the frozen Fish Lake and surrounding mountains which appeared to go on forever. After a quick snack we descended via the same route.

We enjoyed a half day walk with our hosts, Anne-Marie and Walter through the forest near their house. There was still quite an amount of snow on the ground but it did not create much of a problem for us.

On our first day in the Yukon, Anne-Marie took us on a walk along the Millennium Trail following the mighty Yukon River. The river was in the early stages of the spring melt and the trail was somewhat icy in places. Along the way Anne-Marie pointed out their favourite kayaking spots.
