People think of the Klondike Gold Rush when they think of the Yukon, and after that, the gold mines in general. However, the Yukon is actually also a place full of copper deposits. From the early 1900s through the 1980s, Whitehorse was a copper mining city. In fact, at one Continue Reading

Skagway is one of our other favourite places to take visiting friends. While the weather wasn’t looking the best in the morning, it wound up being more than good enough! Of course, no visit south from Whitehorse is complete without a stop at the Carcross Desert. While it was cloudy, Continue Reading

Kluane is one of our favourite spots to bring friends and family up to visit. With a friend in town, we planned the weekend based on where the weather was best, and Saturday’s weather looked best out west. We’ve come to a bit of a routine with these visits, but Continue Reading

Kayla and I were looking for a decent hike to complete after watching the Pride Parade in Whitehorse. We landed on Mount White, yet another relatively short and steep one to the southeast of Whitehorse. When I say steep I mean it! Our legs really felt every step of the Continue Reading

On July 26th, Kayla and I chased the good weather “down south” to Atlin. The small town in British Columbia is one of the most beautiful places in the region, and is home to one of our favourite places. Kershaw’s Cafe is located in a historic building which has been Continue Reading

We were looking for a hike not too far from Whitehorse to stay within the good weather window. One of Kayla’s new friends recommended Stony Creek, one which I have also had my eye on for a while. The trail starts along an offroad trail up from a gravel pit Continue Reading

Kayla was back in Ontario, so I took a quick trip up Grey Mountain! I will say – the road is quite good for most of the way up and there are plenty of turnarounds and pulloffs for you if/when you chicken out. Our Bronco Sport comfortably made it to Continue Reading

We celebrated Canada Day by heading south past Carcross to see the Venus Mine. While it was a popular spot, we still found time to be alone on the trail. The trail was pretty easy most of the way up and there are lots of spots for some micro-breaks along Continue Reading

On June 28th, Kayla and I took our first trip down the Annie Lake Road, and wow, is it ever gorgeous! The area was set to be one of the clearest areas, at least as far as Environment Canada could predict. After a gorgeous drive we were at the parking Continue Reading

This weekend has been a busy one for us! On Friday, we took a hike up Fish Mountain, meeting some people along the way. We talked to a local, who had just moved back to the Territory, and Dominique passing through in her van, who would be spending most of Continue Reading
