When it comes to bringing some cowboy flair to Canada, this isn't Kate's first rodeo! During the couple's 2011 visit to the country, Kate and William donned matching white cowboy hats while attending an actual rodeo in Calgary. Kate's R. Soles cowboy boots made an appearance then, too.

After a morning visit to Whitehorse, Will and Kate flew up to the tiny town of Carcross, Yukon (population 300) where the Carcross/Tagish First Nation greeted them with an official welcome ceremony featuring traditional music, dancing and speeches.

The royal parents then took a stroll across Carcross Commons to visit the workshop of renowned Tlingit carver Keith Wolfe Smarch.

Smarch showed William and Kate how he practices his craft, and put Kate to work painting a totem pole.



The local craftsman also took the opportunity to send his regards to William's father, Prince Charles, who received a carved mask from Smarch during his visit to the Yukon in 2001.

Smarch told CBC News that his mask's placement in the Buckingham Palace art collection is "the highlight of my career."

How Will and Kate Spent a Kid-Free Night in Yukon During Their Canadian Tour



William and Kate will travel next to Montana Mountain (known for being home to one of the best mountain biking trails in the world), where they will join a community mountain biking festival and meet with local families.

While there, they'll learn learn about the Single Track to Success Project, an initiative aimed at engaging the Yukon's First nation youth in trail building and mountain biking to promote health and wellness and restore a connection to the ancestral lands.

The royal couple will end their day by greeting mountain bike ride participants at the bottom of the mountain and then take off to rejoin Prince George and Princess Charlotte in Victoria.

Tomorrow, the young royals will host a children's party for military families at Victoria's Government House.
