Seems like getting this trip posted is taking almost as long as the trip itself! Here goes some more…we would spend this day at the Tombstone Territorial Campground…
In the morning we walked the trail from the campground to the new visitor’s center…
this is quite a remarkable ‘off the grid’ building…this sign explains some of it’s features…
from the south end of the parking lot at the visitor center there is a very easy ‘Beaver Pond Trail’ – Ernie had done it the night before, but this morning I got to come along…
the entrance to the trail cautions that there is a ‘bear in area’….
and not too much further along – you find the ‘bear’ – this is a Willow sculpture by a Yukon artist and is very lifelike, and life size…
there were some very pretty areas along the trail….
and more great explanatory signage…
and here is the Beaver Pond…
and another Willow sculpture – this time it is a Beaver lodge…
the viewing platform at the pond has ‘beaver tracks’ leading from the pond to the ‘lodge’…
this picture sort of displays the whole area…
one area along the trail sported this ‘Cotton grass’
and the track theme continued with Caribou here….
and here some little tiny guy’s…possibly Lemming?
heading back, there is the visitor center in the distance.
and I’ll just finish this section with this picture that Ernie took of a little Inukshuk someone built on one of the posts at the visitor center….
