Before you take the ferry you might enjoy walking the hike to the riverboat graveyards - very interesting.

If you are leaving Dawson City and taking the ferry to the TOW, the graveyard is on the far side, AFTER you get off the ferry. I agree, don't miss it, if you can hike. I went with a friend. A bit rugged and not for the feint of heart, but it was pretty cool.
As we were hiking back, my friend said. . . "Hope we don't see any bears." Oops. I had bear spray, but I left it in the motorhome. We did come upon a very large dome type mound that we thought might be a den.

Bears dont like surprises,you should find a stick and hit some trees or rocks as you go along making plenty of noise and bears will hopefully avoid you..
Some hikers also buy bear bells and tie those to their gear or clothes..
