Our map for this page
Steamboat
76km from Port Nelson is the sleepy hollow called "Steamboat". At the time of the making of this webpage I was unable to get accommodation details, but from the looks of things, it seems to be the perfect little spot to enjoy coffee and capture some breathtaking photos.
Muncho Lake
A further 163km on the hi way brings us to lake side town that shares the name of the lake. With a daily average temp of 7 degrees C, the little stop of Muncho Lake and it’s community relies on the tourists passing though, for its economy. It’s total populations (this number includes the small surrounding towns) is 4000.
Liard
57km further on from Muncho Lake, is the hot springs known as Liard. The name is pronounced " L-ARD" as in "hey Lard Arse, get back to work".. Well, i plan to enjoy the hot springs where I'll sit my "Liard Ass" in the warm water and drink some beer.. Don't know what you "Liard Asses" are planning.
Fireside
Fireside is a tiny stop 72km from Liard Ass. It's got budget accommodation for $120 per night per couple, at the time of the month we are passing through. Might be an option for a stay depending on the time of day we pass by the area.
Lake Watson
Yukon Territory! Over the border and 135km later we hit the northern province of Yukon Territory. Lake Watson issmall with a population of only 1500. Named after a prospector and trapper Frank Watson, this town not only hosts the only airport in the area, but is also the centre for logging. Average Temp by day 12c.
