Notes for Participants

  • Just a few minutes out of town - turn north on the Mayo/Dawson road, over the Takhini River bridge, up the hill, then on left.
  • Children's playground at site.
  • Yukon Highways is doing repair work on the Takhini river bridge, just to the south of the Research Forest. As a result, the bridge is down to one lane with alternating traffic. Expect delays of a few minutes crossing the bridge.
