A drive to Skagway, with lots of changes to see
I took a drive to Skagway on Tuesday. I hadn’t been down since April 19th, which must make it one of the longest stretches without a Skagway trip in the past 25 years. It turned out to be an important day, as I saw a couple of significant changes...

Another quick trip to Skagway, Alaska

The beauty of late Winter in the Yukon
On Tuesday, with very good weather forecast for most of the day, I made the drive to Skagway. Although it started off rather dull, the afternoon was amazing and I wished that I’d brought a lounge chair with me! With the temperature at -12°C (+10°F), I left home at...

An icy Spring day at Dyea, Alaska
We continue to have an extremely warm winter with little snow. To say that it’s been an easy winter so far is an understatement, despite a few days of deep cold that brought with it great photo ops 🙂 When I saw these forecasts yesterday, it looked like a...
