From Bennet to Whitehorse by Seaplane

Since my GPS was left on, this nonsense about the plane trip was recorded, so here it goes. For what it may serve, which will be very little.
The trip was quite annoying. The plane is very narrow, cramped, and very hot. It didn't give me anything. I would have preferred to return by train, but this is what it is.
Looking on the bright side, it is true that seeing the landscape from the air is amazing. The river was especially beautiful. You could see all the meanders, which from this perspective is wonderful.
For the rest, it must be recognized that it is the best way to return from Bennett. The other option is to take the train again, who knows when it passes, to return to Carcross. And there, reach Whitehorse by road. That's another long and uncomfortable trip, so in the end the seaplane thing isn't so bad.
