I had my daughter up for a visit for 3 days over this past weekend, and the one thing she had on her must-do list was seeing Skagway again. On Sunday we headed down, with strong winds and flood warnings in the weather forecast. The Fall colours were mostly...

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....

In my last blog post, I mentioned that I didn’t think that anyone canoes the Watson River that I posted a photo of. A friend of mine in Whitehorse said that she canoed it many years ago, and that there was a canyon to portage around, with a lovely...

On Tuesday, August 6th, day 6 of my White Pass RV-based hiking trip, I had a plan to hike to the canyons up Summit Creek. But I started the day off early by driving the Tracker south on the South Klondike Highway at 06:30 to do some low-light shooting...

My first look at the Faro area and Drury Creek Campground in particular on July 26th caused me to cancel the Alaska part of the trip and return for a better look from August 2nd until the 6th. This post, the final one about the trip, describes some of...

My third day exploring the Tumbler Ridge Global Geopark with local photographer Collin Ball was Day 53 of the trip – Sunday, June 17th. Collin had planned the longest hike yet, some 13 km (8 mi) into Bergeron Falls and back. I had read some reviews online that confused...

Just after noon on Day 51 of the trip – Friday, June 15th – I began to explore the Tumbler Ridge area, led by local photographer Collin Ball. The area has incredible and incredibly varied terrain to explore, encompassed by Monkman Provincial Park and the much broader Tumbler Ridge...

After re-visiting Ogre Canyon near Hinton in the morning of Day 49 of the trip – Wednesday, June 13 – we headed north to Grande Cache for a night or maybe two. I had several hikes in mind, with Sulphur Gates and Eaton Falls being at the top of...

Our next destination after Crowsnest Pass was Waterton Lakes National Park. Although I generally title my posts “exploring…”, Waterton was more significantly a discovery – our discovery of a park we knew very little about, but is now, for both Cathy and I, our favourite national park. For a...
