A big gap in posts is due to 10 days in the field, and then closing on our new home! We’ve spent the time packing and moving, then doing a couple small things around the house. To take a break, we took a quick trip down to Carcross on the Continue Reading

A week after flying back from Ontario, I was headed right back out for the second wedding of September. We departed on time, and had a high cloud ceiling leaving town, so I got a great view of Grey Mountain and Chadburn Lake on the way out. For the first Continue Reading

With Kayla still out east in between the two weddings, I was alone for the weekend in Whitehorse. The weather in the area was quite sunny and not too cold. My original plan was to drive down to the White Pass and hike up to Fraser/Bryant Lake, but I’d forgot Continue Reading

I had a quick work trip up to Dawson City for an in-person meeting in between trips back to Ontario for weddings. This’ll be a short post with some of the best pictures, as I didn’t get up to too much outside of working! The first picture is of the Continue Reading

My September schedule was extremely busy! I was back in Ontario for a friend’s wedding, leaving Whitehorse on the 11th and returning the 17th (though, making a trip up to Dawson the same day).

Kayla and I decided to challenge ourselves after an August of calmer, smaller hikes and take on our first 1000+ m elevation gain. The weather was excellent in every direction, however we figured that Caribou Mountain would be close enough and not an absolute grind like other options would be. Continue Reading

The interior of the Yukon seems to have been the only place dry this past weekend, and so Kayla and I made a trip up to Carmacks to get a reprieve from the rain. We decided to try a new hike for us, the Plume Agate Trail (found from Yukon Continue Reading
