The Carcross area – “Carcross” is derived from “caribou crossing” – was once a glacial lake. Over thousands of years, as the glaciers retreated, the water level lowered, leaving behind the layer of silt that once formed the bottom of the lake. This silt, shaped by the wind into dunes, became the world’s most adorable desert. Summer activities at Carcross Desert include off-roading and sandboarding. In winter, when the sand is covered in snow, bring your skis and snowboards. The teeny desert is an hour’s drive south of Whitehorse.Īmong the 50 or so dioramas at this museum is a scene of a young couple from the 1950s. He is a rebel type, clad in a black leather jacket.
BADLANDS GUARDIAN FROM GROUND FULL
They stand, locked in an embrace, beside a motorcycle under the glow of a full moon. Gopher Hole Museum, a collection of stuffed Richardson’s ground squirrels posed to resemble the townspeople of Torrington, opened in 1996. Located in a former one-room schoolhouse, the museum displays the gophers in wooden boxes with painted walls and props. There are gophers grilling hot dogs, getting married, fishing, playing Texas Hold’Em and eating cotton candy. Some have paper speech bubbles attached to their heads. #Badlands guardian from the ground full.
