Mountain Top Abandoned City | Alpine Views | Abandoned Mines | Destination Adventure

So I have finally made my way into the Yukon, and I'm hitting the adventures full force here. I don't have much time here unfortunately because the weather is already getting so cold, so I'm taking no time to rest. There is so so much to see here, and the locals have been great so far with tips and locations. This trip was the ultimate adventure for me because it was almost all a surprise. Coming into the Yukon, I knew a couple of people to as for locations, and one thing lead to another - I was on top of a mountain.
This video starts right at the border of BC and Yukon, and follows my trip all the way to Keno City, which is a partial ghost town with a rich mining history. Of course along the way I had to stop and see the Sign Forest in Watson Lake, but then I was right back on the road heading north.
I have a family friend in Whitehorse, that put me onto the string of ghost towns, being Mayo, Elsa and Keno. Mayo and Elsa were kind of a bust for filming, but Keno was an absolute amazing location. Once I rolled into Keno, I was picked out pretty quickly by a local. You cant walk around in a town like that too much with a big tripod and camera without getting noticed. Lucky for me, the local gentleman was only interested in teaching me some local history. We had a great little chat, and then he was back to work and I was off to find a new location that he told me about. He was telling me about an abandoned mine site up the mountain, and he told me that my bike would make it up there no problem. One thing he didn't mention, was that this mine was at the top of the mountain, and it is actually just one of many things to see up there. This is by no means a complaint, as I love exploring in the alpine. I spent the rest of the day adventuring around the mountain top, finding old cabins and mine sites. The main location - which is the one he recommended - was the 700 mine. He had described a little of what I would find, but there was so much more than I expected. This mountain is full of shacks, cabins and mine shafts, and I had a blast finding some of them. This will definitely be a location I visit again, because I had to pass by many roads and trails, each leading to a potential new adventure. My next visit will probably be several days, with some extensive miles covered.
I hope you all enjoy this first Yukon video, and the ones to come. If you do enjoy the channel, please consider supporting on Patreon. The roads have not been kind to my poor MoHo here in the north, so Ill be doing a full front end rebuild before heading south for the winter, and I'll be dipping into the Patreon account to help absorb some of that pain. I want to thank each and every Patron that contributes, or has contributed in the past. Without you guys and gals, this life would have some more stresses in it for sure.   / destinationadventure
