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

The forest fire smoke was not very cooperative while my wife’s parents were in town. When it appeared that it would clear up on a Tuesday afternoon, I frontloaded my hours for the week so we could take advantage. The first stop on a trip like this is, of course, Continue Reading
