I love the places my job takes me, especially when that includes Dawson City! I’ll mostly use this post as an excuse to post some photos. Up first is an early morning photo of the Moosehide Slide. The sun is shy behind the mountains (and the dome) for Dawson summer Continue Reading

A coworker of mine had found an ad in one of the local papers for a puzzling competition in Atlin, BC. While she had attended the world speed puzzling competition previously and humbly understated her skill, Kayla and I were new to the game. It is exactly as it sounds: Continue Reading

Montana Mountain is one of the most visually stunning pieces of scenery as you drive the South Klondike Highway towards Carcross. After saying “we should go up there” for the past year, we finally made plans. We read the Yukon Hiking description and went on our way. The washout that Continue Reading

Sometimes the most convenient hikes somehow make their way far down the list. This hike is just a hop, skip, and a jump from our front door. Somehow, Kayla and I had never done it. With some coworkers in town from the bike race, it made sense as a nice Continue Reading

Posting this after quite some time, but back in March, we had a nice trip to our favourite spot on the North Klondike to try and catch some Aurora, and it did not disappoint! I am still trying to get the camera settings dialed in, so these will have to Continue Reading

When I woke up to feed the cat, I was pleasantly surprised to see some aurora outside! We wanted to take advantage of a super clear day and make the drive down to Skagway. A clear day in the White Pass is always worth the drive, even if it’s cold Continue Reading

We saw a streak of aurora in the sky at home and decided to go somewhere close to home. Originally, we tried heading south, but were blocked in by clouds. On our way north, we decided to try out Fish Lake, and it did not disappoint! Unfortunately, all of my Continue Reading
