One of the locals said, “There is often a reason people end up at the end of the road”.

We are in Keno City, Yukon - a “city” of 15 residents in the winter. There are still a few active mines. Enough mines to keep this place functioning and valid.

We travelled up a mountain road to Keno Hill (or Signpost Hill). It is the most spectacular view I have ever witnessed.

Old mining camps and buildings dot the mountainside.

Further up the road (trail) from the signpost viewpoint is an old cabin. I can’t image how hard it must have been to live here. Hauling food, water and firewood up here above the tree line would have been quite a task.

We are staying at the Silvermoon Bunkhouse. It’s a lovely place right in the heart of town.

We will spend a couple more days in this area and try to soak up the local culture.
