	The History of Ross River, Yukon Territory
		The confluence of the Ross and Pelly Rivers was always a major crossroads for travelers coming North from the upper Liard River and those traveling East over the mountains to points on the Mackenzie River.
		By 1903, a second rival trading post was established across the river on the Pelly's west side by Joe Cote, a French Canadian who had been working as a telegraph lineman at Fort Selkirk.
		The old settlement of Ross River on the Pelly's east side at the mouth of the Ross was abandoned, and the modern town of Ross River was begun on the west bank just downriver from Joe Cote's old post.

		The Pelly River was first explored by Robert Campbell, a Canadian fur trader and explorer, for the Hudson Bay Company in 1840.
		As we canoe the Pelly River, we will be experiencing a landscape that has seen little physical change since Campbell’s epic 1840 journey.
		Campsites along the shore and river islands, and wilderness scenery, provide the sense of isolation and Yukon grandness that have drawn past travelers of adventure and economy, and that continue to excite paddlers to this day.

		Pelly Crossing first appears to be a sleepy river crossing with just a few buildings including a welcome gas bar and general store.
		We looked north up the river on Needle Rock Canyon that is adorned with one of those freaks of nature, a needle like rock jutting from the middle of the river and pointing its finger skywards for a good 30-40 feet.
		We soon came to a spot where the river crossed our path so a bridge of sorts had been made of trees, logs, planks plywood, etc. It was criss- crossing the river, with rather sharp corners and narrow track.

	"B21C-1037" in fm06
		Within the section of the Pelly River between Ross River and Faro, dendrochronology of studied bars indicates that active gravel bar surfaces are less than 30 years old.
		Near Ross River, an ash interpreted to be the White River ash (deposited approximately 1200 years ago) crops out at the surface of a terrace several meters above the current active bar surface and approximately half a meter below the surface of a lower terrace.
		Preliminary results suggest current fluvial processes in the Pelly River flood plain are characterized by fluctuating bed levels coupled with moderate lateral reworking and avulsion; rates of these processes appear to be related to discharge patterns in a complex manner.
