Dawson City was a winter wonderland when we visited at the end of January/2015. We met with the new Chief and Council of the Tr’ondek Hwech’in and renewed acquaintances with the staff and Executive Director. What a wonderful part of Canada – so rich in history.
Looking forward to visiting again soon….
