Dawson City, Yukon: graveyards






There are a plethora of fascinating graveyards in Dawson -- some very old, some new and some a mix -- that dot Mary McLeod Road up to (or down from) the Dome. The grave sites are touching, original and whimsical with dates that suggest life in the north is still pretty brutal. The older graves have provided enough compost for lovely big trees to grow from them, some of the largest trees you see in the area in fact.
