The shortest and darkest day of the year is only 2 days away now, and yesterday I took the dogs to Skagway for the day. As you’ll see, I hope, the stories about how dark and dreary mid-winter in the Yukon is are just not true 🙂 This is...

With the gorgeous days we’ve been having lately, I’m dying to get my huskies into the high country for some hiking. That’s weeks away yet, but yesterday we went to Carcross for some hiking/playing in the dune system and on the beach. We were away from the house well...

After discovering during a flight on Saturday that the craggy cliffs overlooking Spirit Lake are topped with a huge almost-level plateau, I was determined to hike up for a look. I started up the trail twice many years ago but got stopped by a grizzly both times – on...
