I’m currently in a hotel at Mile 300 of the Alaska Highway (Fort Nelson, BC). I had hoped to reach Fort St. John but got slowed down by seeing about a million animals up close today – bears, moose, caribou, Rocky Mountain sheep, bison, even a bald eagle feeding...

We had another moose drop by this morning. Monty alerted Cathy that something unusual was up, and she looked out the bedroom window to see the cow walking by about 30 feet away. The cow was walking quite gingerly, and I believe that she’s pregnant (calves are born between...

I enjoy seeing any wildlife when I’m out cruising, but spending time with lynx is an absolutely magical experience. My buddy Rob and I went down to Skagway yesterday for a day photo of photography, and on the way home we saw 3 lynx along Tutshi Lake (perhaps the...

For the past week, we’ve had 2 moose coming through the property on their rounds, and on Christmas Eve they bedded down for the night less than 100 feet from our bedroom window. We haven’t seen them yet, but the next-door neighbour says it’s a cow and 2-year-old calf....

To some degree, people have the ability to research to see if claims about certain visitor services and attractions are true. Unfortunately that’s not always...

Fall is a rather exciting time of year in the Yukon. Yes, I do whine about Winter coming, but as long as I don’t think about what comes next it’s great. One of the distinctive signs that it’s hunting season is the number of private jets sitting on the...

All that needs to be said about this video that was posted on YouTube in late June is that it was shot in an Anchorage backyard. If this doesn’t bring a smile to your face and warm your heart a little, you must be having a really bad day....

I asked for grizzlies for our tour into Denali National Park today, and did Mother Nature ever deliver! I lost count, but our driver/guide said that she thought we saw 9 – the sleepy guy yawning below being the best. We not only got great grizzlies, though, we also...
