Carcross, Yukon






We went exploring, destination Carcross, Yukon, named originally for the vast numbers of caribou who crossed through the area on seasonal migrations. We didn't see too many cars crossing, nor caribou, though we discovered fresh, handmade waffle cones and gigantic scoops of ice cream.
Also an emerald lake, colored by glacial till or white marl (which is CaCO), a one square mile desert (small in comparison to the large dessert, previously mentioned), and the oldest operating general store in the Yukon. Also, growing in the desert, the rare Siberian Aster.
