The drive home with the new Jeep was much quicker than I prefer, but it’s always enjoyable. The total distance from my daughter’s home in Airdrie to mine in Whitehorse was 3,101 km (1,927 mi). Click here to open an interactive version of the map in a new window....

Normally, driving the Icefields Parkway is the main highlight of a trip to Alberta. Yesterday, not so much. I didn’t sleep well, woke up sick, and an early-winter storm reduced visibility along much of the route. This was my route – click here for an interactive version of the...

Cathy has wanted a new car for a long time, and finally bought a new Jeep online on Tuesday. I’m now on a week-long wander home with it. We’ve been all over the map in thinking about what Cathy needs and wants. We settled on a 2016 Jeep Cherokee...

The third of my hikes in the Haines Summit area last week was up an old mining road to a glacial cirque directly south of Three Guardsmen Mountain, on Saturday (October 1st). The day started out poorly, with a mechanical problem. One of my levellers on the motorhome wouldn’t...

On Thursday night (September 29th), I had set up camp at the Chuck Creek (Samuel Glacier) trailhead. The large, level, sheltered parking area there would be a perfect base for what I knew would be along day on the trail. The view to the southeast at 07:28. A couple...

We pulled away from Dawson City just after 2:00 pm on Saturday, September 24th. I wanted to be home in Whitehorse in not much over 24 hours, but there were a few stops I wanted to make along the North Klondike Highway on the way. Approaching the Dawson airport...

On Friday, September 23rd, I had set up camp at the Yukon River Campground across the river from Dawson City at 4:00 pm. Although closed, the gate was open so no-services camping is allowed. I had a few hours to explore that afternoon and the next morning, and then...

Friday, September 23rd, was mostly a day of wandering along the Top of the World Highway back to Dawson City, exploring some side roads along the way. The world didn’t look the way I had expected it would in the morning. Despite heavy rain, strong, dry winds from the...

Thursday didn’t go quite as planned, but I finally made it to Forty Mile, and it ended with a truly incredible experience out in the middle of nowhere on the Top of the World Highway. This is another very long post, with 39 photos. We got off to a...
