scenic highways

The Dempster Highway links southern Yukon to the Mackenzie Delta in the Northwest Territories.  It is the only public road in North America to cross the Arctic Circle.

The River Valley Scenic Drive in New Brunswick, on the east coast.  This part of the Trans Canada Highway runs between two Rivers - The Madawaska and the St John.

These roads must be a pleasure to drive on!

Mine aren't so beautiful. But I think the stamps are.

I have never been on either of these. Though, the scenery probably doesn't seem quite as dramatic from ground level.

I like the friendly Yukon wolf on the sign, nothing to worry about:) Great stamps

These stamps are gorgeous! The deer and fern (?) in the foreground make them even more interesting.

There are lots of caribou in the Yukon, and that is a fiddlehead, a young fern that is supposedly quite a delicacy.

Oh, it's a caribou, cool!!! Thanks for telling me. Also interesting is that ferns can be delicacy 😜, and pretty.
