8-1-09 Teslin, YT

8-1-09: We stopped at Teslin, YT to visit a wildlife museum that a local woman said we could not miss because it was fabulous. She was right! There were life-like mounts of moose, wolves, grizzlies, owls, falcons, deer, polar bear, beavers, mountain goats, Dall sheep, and a variety of native fish. The mounts were in dioramas; a natural environment setting behind a glass enclosure. Mike remarked that the taxidermist who made the mounts was top-notch since the animals were amazingly accurate in regard to their form and facial expressions. We made it to Whitehorse, YT in the afternoon, set up camp, then we went for a bike ride on the riverwalk that followed the beautiful azure-blue Yukon River.
