The weather hasn’t been great lately, but despite the clouds, the Fall colours are getting really pretty around Whitehorse. When my friend Karla asked if I wanted to go out shooting after she got off work on Wednesday (September 6), I was in. I suggested that we take the...

This is a section of the original 1942 road that ran along the top of the cliffs along Muncho Lake. The road/trail can be seen angling up the far slope in the next photo. The hiking guide rates it as Easy, and says that the 4-km return hike should...

In the last 2 posts, I’ve covered the 7 canyons that I hiked during my 5 days at Muncho Lake Provincial Park in late August. But the dogs and I did a lot more – here’s a look at a couple of hiking trails, campgrounds, airplanes, storms, and more....

I spent 5 days, from August 24-28, hiking 7 of the 14 main canyons located in the Muncho Lake area, between Km 726 and Km 697 of the Alaska Highway. In Part 1, I described the canyons at Km 725.6, Km 720, Km 718.4, and Km 716.8 (Boulder Canyon)....

When we went looking for a place to camp for the Discovery Day long weekend, Kluane Lake was the only place that had sun forecast. As it turned out, we had little sun and lots of cold screaming wind. But it was a great weekend anyway – we had...

Over the past week, I’ve been on a couple of fine summer hikes, but the morning temperature has been below freezing twice (down to -4°C), and a drive to Skagway left no doubt that Fall has arrived. The first hike was at Atlin, where my friend Karla had invited...

Some of my regular readers have been wondering when rescue puppies were going to appear on the blog again. Here are the first, and there will be lots more coming over the next few months 🙂 On Saturday, there was a request on the Yukon Animal Rescue Network (YARN)...

This year, the world-famous RCMP Musical Ride is on a cross-country tour in celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, visiting all 10 provinces and the Yukon Territory. On August 12th and 13th, they performed 3 shows in Whitehorse, but they were also visible around town in other ways. The last...
