Took pictures of Toad Lake near our camp site. Grant loves to get pictures of the mountains reflected in the water. Next we saw Folded Mountain where the layers of rock are literally folded under each other as the continental plates shift and push each other up. We saw an Alluvial Fan which occurs when the material from the mountain slides down into the valley and makes a fan shape at the edge of the stream or river. We traveled along the Toad River for quite awhile. At Muncho Lake we saw remnants of the old highway that went up over the mountain.
Besides the beautiful scenery, we got to spend some time at Liard Hot Springs, which was recommended to us by Tom Bashor. Thanks Tom, we had a great time. In the smaller pool, there were benches in the water where you could just sit. At the upper pool the water was 9 feet deep and you could swim in it. The upper pool was very warm and comfortable with respect to temperature. The lower pool was comfortable for me, but a little warm for Grant. At one end of the pool it was about 108 degrees. At the other end it was 138 degrees. That was too hot to even put your foot in.
We made it to the Yukon! We are staying at Watson Lake tonight.
