Although I’ve gotten ahead of myself with a couple of posts, I would still like to share our 9 days at Kluane Lake with you. I’ve gathered 65 photos so will do it in 2 posts. Although we didn’t do anything major, there was a fair bit of variety,...

I did a fairly major adventure with the e-bike yesterday, riding 31.5 km on the historic Dawson Overland Trail north of Whitehorse. Built in 1902, this was the winter road to Dawson, used when the Yukon River froze – see “The Whitehorse to Dawson Overland Trail” by Ken Spotswood....

On August 26th I returned to Spirit Lake with my e-bike to continue exploring the long-abandoned White Pass & Yukon Route rail line. This time I rode south. My hope was to reach Carcross, and that goal was reached. The first photo shows the start of this exploration at...

On August 11th I walked from near Spirit Lake Lodge to Watson River Falls, and that showed me that it would be worthwhile to bring the e-bike down to explore along the the long-abandoned White Pass & Yukon Route rail line, which we walked along the reach the falls....

I had it in my mind that Mt. McIntyre (“Mount Mac”) would be a great place for the e-bike. That turned out to not be particularly true, but it’s so beautiful up there I’ll show you how these two days went anyway. My first drive up was on Monday,...

I finally got out on an adventure worth sharing yesterday, exploring 7.8 km of the long-abandoned White Pass & Yukon Route rail line from the Lewes Lake Road to Bear Creek. Much of the line is in terrible condition, difficult to walk, much less ride a bike, but this...

While we didn’t use the e-bikes as much as we’d planned to during our 9 days at Kluane Lake for a variety of reasons, we still had some excellent rides, so I thought a separate post for all of them would be appropriate. On our first full day at...

We have heavy rain and 12°C/53°F as I right this, so it may be an indoor day, but I’ve been getting out on the e-bike a fair bit. The network of trails available from my front door is quite mind-boggling, and I’m both exploring, and looking for a route...

As we were descending into Whitehorse on our Air North flight last Wednesday, I could see that much of the flooding that stopped me on my e-bike ride on June 10th had receded, so I decided to give it another try on July 30th. I’m using 2 apps on...

Yesterday, I went out on a major exploration again, on the route I started to ride on May 13th, along the WWII Canol pipeline road. My goal was again to reach the Cowley Lakes where the White Pass & Yukon Route rail line crosses them. Cathy joined me this...
