MFC0056 Cabins by the Lakes 2 (PAGY-CYXY) - 1426.7 nm - (17 Legs)

This second edition of the Cabins By the Lakes scenery for RTMM centers around the Southern Lakes region of the Yukon Territory. This area is considered the 'gem' of the Yukon because of its mountains crested with glaciers that meet clear blue lakes and endless boreal forests which sit in between. The network of lakes, rivers and glacial streams form the headwaters of the mighty Yukon River and the area’s network of waterways and trails form a backcountry playground for adventurers. Several small communities, rich with history, make this scenic area home.

During the fur trade years up to the late 1890s, the Southern Lakes region was an important region for commerce between the coastal Tlingit people and the inland Kaska and Tutchone peoples. The Tagish people, whose traditional territory lies in the Southern Lakes region, became the middlemen in this trade relationship and adopted many customs of the Tlingit. During the Gold Rush [1896-99], the Southern Lakes region was a transportation center for goods and people moving north into the Klondike. The White Pass and Yukon Route railway connected the Southern Lakes region to Whitehorse and 'sternwheelers' moved throughout the lakes system transporting goods, gold-seekers and tourists.

Stay at these cabins and experience the natural beauty and remote solitude around you. Take yourself back to simpler times by splitting some wood for a blaze in the cabin's wood stove under the light of an oil lamp. Enjoy the warmth as your gear dries out from a long day, perhaps a journey down the mighty Yukon River or an icy traverse across a glacier. Whether it be a recreational boat trip or hunting expedition, you'll have plenty of adventures by visiting these wooden shelters and make memories to treasure for a lifetime.

Today, the Southern Lakes region’s vibrant communities and abundant opportunities for outdoor adventures make it a popular place to visit. The remote lakeside cabins you can access in this scenery will deliver some challenges to aviators but the rewards at the end of the journey are worth the trouble. Get out there and find them!

Cabins by the Lakes version 2.0 is the 2nd cabins scenery project by Brad Allen that includes many more locations found in the back country of the ORBX/FTX region "Southern Alaska".  We will continue to explore Cabins by the Lakes from versions 1.0 and Cabins by the Lakes vol.2.

Again an amphibian is required: single or twin prop C185, DHC2 Beaver, DHC3 Otter, DHC6, D18S etc as well as rotorcraft “floats” are perfect for this cabin hops and small airstrips trip.   (Beaver amphibian will be my choice of vehicle this trip but feel free to fly what you wish).

Have fun and enjoy the trip to the various cabins and other POI in this excursion.
