The Yukon River in Alaska. It reminded me of a long lake more than a river. We floated for about 160 miles from Eagle to Circle - about 5 days on the river with an extra spent at a road house. Here are some of the pictures. Don't let them fool you, it was a little chilly and rained a lot.
At the end of the second day, it was rainy, cold, and windy. As soon as we landed and got the raft unloaded the rain stopped and it started to clear up. This (below) was the view for dinner that night. It was a great place to see moose and other wildlife. Unfortunately, all we saw was a beaver. Not exactly the big mammal that we were looking for.
The last night was spent on a sandy beach. Plenty of firewood and marshmallows made the long-lasting sunset fantastic. The morning was foggy - at least around the campsite. We delayed our departure hoping that the fog would lift. When it did not, we set off. The sky cleared no more than 200 yards down river.
I hope you enjoyed these. There will be more pictures coming soon.
