Whitehorse

Although one of the bigger cities on our tour, Whitehorse was not one of the cities that was particularly interesting. They had a museum that we visited, but it wasn't anything different than a normal history museum, and we also saw some cool snow sculptures. We also had the privilege of sitting in on a traditional sauna cleansing session (cleansing the body, mind, and soul. Not the sauna). They would bring in heated stones, then every once in a while they would drop one in some cold water to get a neat steaming effect. It was quite relaxing. We then had a traditional lunch of salmon and a mysterious sort of bread type item with some tasty spread that I later discovered was made from fish oils. We didn't actually stay very long in Whitehorse (only one day). It was more of a stopover than anything. We should probably have stayed longer, but it wasn't in our budget. We found that it was more advantageous to stay in small towns because their lodging rates are cheaper. We were in a gift shop and we picked up this hat:

It's a bit cheesy, but rather fun anyways. Besides, we had some extra cash that was burning a hole in our pockets. Anyways, we ended off this leg with a neat fireworks show then it was off to Inuvik, NWT.
