Taken in the Carcross Desert, near the village of Carcross, Yukon Territory, Canada. Bennett Lake is partly in the Yukon, and partly in British Columbia, so you are getting a view of desert, lake, and mountains, in both the Yukon, and British Columbia, Canada. The hike in the desert wasn't all that easy for me ...one step ahead, and two back, but I had to work off that ice cream I shouldn't have had! Anyway, a fun day out.

A desert that end in a lake! That is the best oasis I have ever seen :) Beautiful shot Winona - the contrast between the blue water and mountains and the desert sand is wonderful.

Wow!! I would never have thought that you would have a desert so close to mountains with snow on them. A very well composed capture with good colour. Thanks for showing me something very different. Lyn.

Beautiful panorama... i didn't know you had a desert up there. Walking in sand is definitely not a whole lot of fun but I'm glad you took this picture, it's lovely.
