Farther 2019. Road to the Arctic. Tuktoyaktuk

In my previous posts I wrote about my journey up the Dempster Highway and the road to Tuktoyaktuk(Tuk). On the afternoon of my 4th day, after an absolutely spectacular drive, I pulled into Tuk. It was cold and raining. I drove slowly through town towards the point. After getting a picture at the Arctic Ocean …

Farther 2019. A nudge in the dark.

Wrapped in my sleeping bag, my eyes opened. It was dark and I was cold. My cellphone said 2am. That evening had been warm...at least when compared with Tuk. 17 degrees. First time I could walk around in a T-shirt in more than a week. On my way back down the Dempster, I enjoyed my …

Farther 2019. Exploring around Keno City

Somehow, Yukon still has wonders that can leave me in awe. On my way down from Dawson I drove up the Silver Trail. It's a road that goes into the mountains where there was a lot of silver mining...along with some gold. The first part of the road to Mayo is generally smooth and not …

Farther 2019. North Canol Road

I love remote, off the beaten path roads. Especially the ones that are seldom driven. It excites the explorer in me. Often times, the really remote roads don't have great scenery. One of the things I've been looking forward to in Yukon is driving some truly epic, fully remote roads. The Canol Road is probably …

Farther 2019. Nahanni Range Road

My final backroad experience wasn't quite as epic as the Canol road, but it was still an adventure. Nahanni Range road holds the distinction for being the backroad that really made me long to return to Yukon. I had seen some blogs and pictures from this road and really wanted to experience it myself. The …

Farther 2019. The Icefields

As my trip nears the end, I set out to do one of the most awe filled adventures yet: a flight to the icefields in Kluane. As I got closer to my time in Kluane, I started making arrangements for the flight with Icefields Discovery. Weather is tricky at the icefields and it was hard …

Farther 2019. Kings Throne

Six years ago, I hiked the King's Throne trail in Kluane. I didn't make it all the way. Mountain hiking terrifies me to some degree. I think it's a fear of heights mixed with being out of shape and having shaking legs on steep trails were it feels like a slip up could cause a …

Farther 2019. Last Hurrah in Kluane

My trip is quickly coming to an end, but it still has some surprises in store. I have to admit, after flying to the icefields, it kind of felt like nothing else was worth doing in comparison.  However, I did still have some items on my list. I wrote earlier about my hike up Kings …

Farther 2019. Goodbye Yukon

The time has come. I must say goodbye to my beloved Yukon. As you read this, I have already begun my drive back to Ontario. As is tradition, I spent a few days just relaxing at a cabin in the woods. No electricity, no running water. Propane lights and stove and a wood stove for …

Fog and Cloud at Stone Mountain.

It's been slow going, editing the 6,800 photos I took on my summer trip. One of the reasons for the slowness is when I come across days that were simply filled with spectacular sights. Then I become a perfectionist and I keep changing them just slightly. This trip was my grandest yet and I want …

Introducing: Skye, my new Jeep.
It's been a different summer. Due to my Jeep's starting issues I haven't really gone on any road/camping trips. This might end up being the quietest summer I've had since 2007...when I first began adventuring. I do have one trip planned with friends later this month, but otherwise I'm just patiently waiting for my new Jeep to arrive from the factory.(with no idea when that will be)
