Nordic Eclipse Hot Springs and Campgroun

We got up late as we switched time zones entering Yukon Territory, so it was 8:30 when it seemed like 7:30! After a breakfast of coffee, poptarts, and yogurt, we set out toward our new destination, which has both a campground and hot springs spa.

We stopped on Haines Junction looking for a car wash, but it has turned into a laundromat without a car wash. It was a beautiful sunny day, but our car and camper were still dirty. When you wish for rain, you get sun seemed to be the secret!

We arrived at about 1:30 and had some sandwiches. Then we went to the Yukon Wildlife Park, which is just a few miles away. We walked the 5 km loop and saw many Yukon animals in a parklike environment. We also saw a fox that came right up to us before slipping through the fence. They chase the many groundsquirrels and are not part of the park.

Phil has gone off now in search of a shower. They have only one here, so I am getting things ready for supper. We're having a stir-fry of leftovers with rice and quinoa.

Tomorrow, we'll hit the hot springs and maybe take a quick trip to town (Whitehorse) for groceries and to see a museum.Læs mere
