Along with my trusty four legged companion, Chloe, I crossed this desert by foot. It’s the world’s smallest desert, but still… I crossed a desert by foot.
When you cross a desert by foot you end up with some sand in your shoes.
Sign text: Carcross Desert. Affectionately known as the smallest desert int the world, this area was originally covered by a large glacial lake. As the glaciers retreated, causing lower water levels, sandy lake bottom material was left behind. Strong prevailing winds from Lake Bennett have constantly worked this sand, making it difficult for vegetation to become established. Species of plants that have survived include lodgepole pine and kinnininnick.
Location: Carcross, Yukon Territory, Canada
