Biking Edmonton’s River Valley
I spent my final afternoon in Edmonton riding about 20 miles through the North Saskatchewan River Valley, crossing bridges, exploring neighborhoods and seeing the city from the trails. That evening, I headed south on Highway 2, navigated Alberta’s extensive road construction, stopped for a nap and continued into Calgary.
Edmonton: Old Strathcona and Whyte Avenue
I spent a Saturday exploring Edmonton's Old Strathcona Farmers' Market and Whyte Avenue, photographing street art, historic buildings and the people I met along the way. There was Falun Dafa, a pedal-powered pub, Georgian dumplings and plenty of unexpected conversations before I finished the day photographing the Edmonton skyline and Walterdale Bridge from Queen Elizabeth Park.
Drive To Edmonton, AB
The drive south from Dawson City to Edmonton meant long days and hundreds of miles through the Yukon and northern British Columbia. I stopped at Five Finger Rapids, passed through Whitehorse and followed the Alaska Highway south before wildfire smoke, heavy rain and poor visibility made the final drive to Hythe one of the more difficult stretches of the trip.
