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

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

My in-laws were in town for over a week and a half and hoping to see the sights. We looked at the smoke forecast on the 14th, and Skagway seemed to be our best chance. This turned out to be a great decision! After a brief stop in Carcross, we Continue Reading

We decided to spend a day in Kluane country yesterday. Our week included a Monday seeing family off, followed by administrative tasks. The rest of the week involved work for both of us, plus celebrating our second wedding anniversary. After checking for which weekend day projected better weather, we decided Continue Reading

After settling into our new home, we did a daytrip down through the White Pass. My sister and her partner were looking for some views and the chance to see some birds, so off we went. We stayed true in our resolve to not spend a dime in the USA Continue Reading
