The drive from our house to Skagway is only about two hours on the Klondike Highway but it takes us through the Yukon, British Columbia and Alaska. There is also a surprising variety of landscape. We drove to Skagway this week-end for a Mother's Day camping trip. This time of year we saw everything from desert to icy emerald lakes to snow-covered misty mountain ranges.
