The Dome

This is the view from the top of one of the mountains above the town. Drove the dirt road to the top. We were alone to view these fabulous scenes. Later we heard that a grizzly and 2 babies had been seen on the road earlier in the day. Don't forget to click on these pictures...they're really great when they are enlarged.


Yukon River and most of the town of Dawson City.


View downriver.


The gold mine that is still in operation. See the road that is on the right and goes up the valley? That's the road to Dredge #4.


Can you see the layers of mountains in the distance? See the little road that goes up and winds around the moutain? That's how we left town...the beginning of the Top of the World Highway. You can see it on the second mountain, and again at the top of the mountain on the right....way far away. That's where we went!


A pretty, unusual flower at the top of the mountain.
