Dawson City, Yukon: Dome day






The day after the party, Andy & I were in charge of child care, so we headed to the Riverside Cafe where kids can have warm hot chocolate and bagels and cream cheese and adults can have wonderful cappuccinos and breakfast wraps with eggs and hot salsa and bran muffins with a decidedly grain-gritty European texture that works wonders. After breakfast we headed up Mary McLeod Road to Midnight Dome (elevation 2911 feet) -- everyone just calls it The Dome. Even on a grey day, it's a fabulous place to view all of the approaches to Dawson, each with a spectacular and broad vista, and to watch northern lights and view a vast nighttime sky.
