A Happening Place

There is a wonderful trail in Whitehorse that runs either side of the Yukon River, with bridges linking each end. It is used by hundreds of runners, walkers, bikers, strollers and the like. There's always something to see on the trail, whether it be wildflowers, water fowl or even spawning salmon.

Last night though it was particularly interesting. Just down from the Whitehorse dam, the Yukon Canoe and Kayak Club was holding their annual white water rodeo. I've never been in a kayak in fast water, but this certainly made me want to experience it. Everyone seemed to be having so much fun.

A few minutes further along the trail, near the fishladder, someone from Icy Waters was giving a demonstration about how to fillet and cook arctic char. Yup, the Millennium Trail certainly was a happening place last night!
