One thing that caught our eye when Jason and I first arrived in the Yukon was the small town of Carcross. Originally known as “caribou crossing”, the town of Carcross is an old hunting and fishing camp for the Tlingit and Tagish people. It’s now a cute little town by the river with a small center featuring local art shops and a cafe (with really darn good coffee!).  We drove out here for the day even though, spoiler alert, I end up going back here with the photography workshop later!

One main attraction in Carcross is the old steamboat, Tutshi.  It apparently used to be a complete boat but most of it burned up a few years ago.  They did a pretty good job of salvaging it and making it interesting still.
