Skagway to Carcross (Part 2)

As you can see from the first picture below we are just crossing into Canada. When we got to the Canadian customs station a guy came out and ask the normal questions and then saw I had a GPS and chuckled and said "There only one road, you can't get lost". I said "I know but I have some waterfalls marked on it and wanted to make sure I don't miss them." He's right, there is only one road for most of the drive and you can't get lost. These are just pictures along the way. When we are on a drive like this we stop at about every pullover place. It's kind of amazing how just a few hundred feet can make a difference in how a place looks.
Crossing into Canada
This is of of the two bears we saw on the drive.  Both were eating dandelion blooms.
I believe this was called Tormented Valley.
Have to throw in a waterfall for George &  Betsy! :) A very small one but a waterfall nonetheless.

These pictures are absolutely magnificent. I can't get over how majestic the scenery is. I don't know how you could leave one pullout to go to the next. Thanks for the waterfall.
