Camping season has officially begun in the Yukon. We weren’t able to go camping on opening weekend, so this past weekend was our season opener. With the Crane and Sheep Festival going on in Faro from May 7-9, we decided Faro would be our destination.

Every year the Tagish River and Marsh Lake are teeming with swans. What a sight to see! As some of the first waterways in the Yukon to unfreeze, the Trumpeter and Tundra Swans take a rest here for a few days before they continue their travels further north, east to Northwest Territories or west to Alaska.
