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)....

On Thursday, August 24th, I finished the drive to Muncho Lake with a 270-km (168-mi) leg down the Alaska Highway from the Watson Lake Campground. I parked the motorhome at a huge pullout at Km 717, which would put me in the heart of the best of the canyons...

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...
