SO much more than expected. Beautiful room with breathtaking mountain view — like a dream. Snacks, fruits, espresso in room. 3-course dinner included. Staff from Europe. Waiter Yoris (Belgian, moved to Yukon). Rick's wife Deborah works in kitchen. No light pollution — stargazing. Small tree on the lake with chairs — breathtaking views.
Great guide. 1.5hr drive, 2hrs with stops. Indigenous community history. Sculptures in town. Snow-laden mountains. Wildlife: moose, caribou. Green trees everywhere.
Viewed from balcony + walked to hockey field. Night 2: great aurora but cloudy, sky lit up.
