Dawson City, Yukon 537a1

I camped in Dawson City for a couple of days. Dawson City had been at its prime during the Klondike Gold Rush, had gone quite a bit downhill for many years, but when I was there in 1994 it was just beginning to revive with recent tourist interest in the north. As you can see from the nearby pictures, there were still a good many abandoned buildings but there was also some restoration and even new construction.

From 1994 San Francisco - Arctic Ocean camping trip. Scan of an older picture. Best viewed as part of the NW Canada set.
