Denali: East Fork Discovery Hike
A full day in Denali's backcountry took me across an icy river, through colorful tundra, and into grizzly country on a ranger-led East Fork Discovery Hike. Along the way I learned about the Pretty Rocks Landslide, photographed wildlife, and experienced one of the most peaceful landscapes I've encountered in Alaska.
Teslin, YT
A quiet drive from Watson Lake to Teslin turned into one of the most interesting days of the trip. From seeing my first wild caribou to learning about WWII aviation history, Indigenous culture, and life in remote Yukon communities, Teslin revealed far more depth and history than I expected.
