The Teslin Travel Guide

Tlingit heritage, one of the Yukon's longest lakes, and the George Johnston story

Teslin stretches along one of the longest lakes in the Yukon, and its community holds one of the territory's finest small museums — dedicated to a man who photographed his Tlingit community through decades of change, and who once built his own road on the ice just to drive his car. This guide gathers everything I'd want a traveller to know before they descend that ridge and watch Teslin Lake open up below them.
