We had a short day available at the Tombstone Mountain Campground on Day 8 of this RV trip – Tuesday, July 31st. We had to leave by about 2:00 pm to get Cathy to the Dawson airport, but that gave me just enough time for another short hike, down...

On Day 7 of this RV trip – Monday, July 30 – the main activity of the day, following my hike on the North Klondike River Trail, was driving up the Dempster Highway about 50 kilometers. While we just poked slowly along looking for wildlife or anything else that...

On July 30th and 31st, I hiked the North Klondike River Trail and the Edge of the Arctic Interpretive Trail, in Tombstone Territorial Park. The trails both start at the same point at the northwest edge of the Tombstone Mountain Campground. The North Klondike River Trail is 3.4 km...

On Day 4 of this RV trip – Friday, July 27th – Cathy flew into Dawson to join the fur-kids and me. After being unable to find a campsite at the Yukon River Campground, we drove 14 km up the Top of the World Highway and parked at a...
