After turning off Hwy 1 onto Hwy 2 for an excursion we crossed a bridge over the Stewart River that flowed into the Yukon River in the distance. At least I think this is the Stewart. Google maps does not give any name to it, but as you can see it is a large river. There were dozens and dozens of large rivers we came across on the Alaska-Yukon trip, and this is one of them.

These next few wildlife pictures are from an private animal preserve a few miles north of Whitehorse. These are the best shots of an arctic fox I got, and they are poor. Left: darn fence, Right darn fence again, had to focus manually, as camera wanted to focus on wire.

Elk shedding its velvet prior to ruttin season. The velvet is a blood carrying covering to new antlers that grow every year. We saw many more animals at this preserve, but the fence or extreme size of the pens they were in was a problem, so I did not include any more if I got those species elsewhere 2013:08:16 16:08:55 Exposure time: 1/640 F-stop: 5.6 ISO speed: 800 Focal length: 280mm

Another river flowing into the Yukon. The Yukon is one of the world's truly large rivers.

Five Fingers Rapids on the Yukon River. This was a dangerous place for steam boats to navigate through in gold rush times. Eventually, they dynamited one of the rocks to remove it, so now there are only four and the stream is a lot more calm. For us it was a rest stop.

Yukon River outside of lunch stop at Minto. It is 1,980 miles long, and the average flow is 227,000 ft³/sec and the total drainage area is 321,500 mi².... By comparison, the Mississippi-Missouri River system is 3,710 miles long and averages from 200 to 700 thousand cubic feet of flow/sec. Yukon means "great river" in Gwich'in. The source of the river is located in BC, Canada....It gives its name to Yukon territory. The lower half of the river lies in...Alaska. The river is 1,980 miles long and empties into the Bering Sea at the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta.
