A last-minute decision took Cathy and I back out to Kluane Lake this past weekend, for our final RV camping weekend of this season. With night-time temperatures nearing -15°C (+5°F) later this week, it’s time to get my water system winterization done. We arrived at our favourite campground, Congdon...

In the Yukon, the discovery of gold that led to the Klondike Gold Rush is celebrated by Discovery Day, a statutory holiday and long weekend. We eventually decided to go back to the Congdon Creek Campground on Kluane Lake for the long weekend – it’s our favourite campground overall....

On Day 58 of the trip – Friday, June 22nd – we began the drive from Stewart to our home in Whitehorse. I expected that we’d overnight somewhere along the way – Boya Lake if the weather was good enough – but sometimes I get get-home-itis on that last...

My plan for RV Season 2018 had been to leave Whitehorse on April 20th. That didn’t happen, though – I caught a nasty cold that Cathy had, and I wasn’t well enough to hit the road until Thursday, April 26th. And that was a stretch. As I begin writing...

I’ve been so busy for the past many weeks that I’ve hardly been out exploring at all. Yesterday, though, a friend and I drove out to Kluane Lake, and it was superb – an absolute 10/10 day. Though very cold, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky, we got...

After hardly taking any pictures for many weeks, I’ve been trying hard to make up for lost time lately. Whoops, Cathy says that house renovations are NOT “lost time”! 🙂 Since buying a lens specifically for photographing the aurora borealis last November, I haven’t yet had a good night...

Thursday, December 7th, was a long day with an early start. A look out my window at the Northern Rockies Lodge at Muncho Lake, with the moon lighting up the snowy peaks, got my blood pumping in a hurry. I took a few photos from the room, and at...

I’m back on the road for 10 days or so, driving from Whitehorse to Calgary and back to see my kids. It’s both faster and cheaper to fly, but when I saw an absolutely incredible weather forecast for at least the first 7 days, driving was the easy choice....

This is a section of the original 1942 road that ran along the top of the cliffs along Muncho Lake. The road/trail can be seen angling up the far slope in the next photo. The hiking guide rates it as Easy, and says that the 4-km return hike should...

In the last 2 posts, I’ve covered the 7 canyons that I hiked during my 5 days at Muncho Lake Provincial Park in late August. But the dogs and I did a lot more – here’s a look at a couple of hiking trails, campgrounds, airplanes, storms, and more....
