The Klondike Highway runs approximately 350 miles from Whitehorse to Dawson City. It was constructed in 1959 roughly following an early 1900s stage coach route. In 1903 there were over 50 Roadhouses along the route where stagecoaches, horse drawn sleds in winter, could obtain lodging and meals.Fox River Burn….Road travels through an area where a forest fire burned over 300, 000 acres in 1993.

Montague Roadhouse…Log shell of an original roadhouse on the Klondike stage road.

Conglomerate Mountain… Eons ago volcanic activity formed this mountain and the surrounding area. The mountain is made of “pudding stone” so called because it looks like a pudding with raisins, except the pudding is a rock matrix and the raisins different size stones. Freezing & thawing causes giant conglomerate boulders to break away from the mountain and roll to the bottom. The best part…..there is a rest area at the bottom to look at the boulders. What if one should break away while you’re in the port-a- potty ????

Braeburn Lodge….About 50 miles up the highway we stopped at Braeburn Lodge, an old roadhouse on the highway, famous for the size of its cinnamon buns….it took us two days to eat one.
