BCYK: Adieu, Yukon

Our last morning in the Yukon kicked off with homemade waffles and rhubarb juice. We enjoyed one last long chat with our host before we parted.

BCYK: Hot springs and ski planes

These are the kind of mornings I dreamed about when I was a child. A cozy fire, sunlight filtering in through the porch, the smell of breakfast wafting through the wooden cabin walls.

BCYK: Magic in Kluane

Another morning, another delicious breakfast from our B&B host. After another morning of long chats and stories, we began the long drive towards Kluane National Park and Reserve.



The lovely view through our cracked windshield.

BCYK: Whitehorse

Yukon marks 11/13 and the first territory we visited! We stayed at a bed & breakfast in Whitehorse, and spent our days exploring the city, hiking through Kluane, and even freezing our butts off on Canada's tallest peak. One thing we should have done was bring our passports so we could cross over to Alaska - it honestly hadn't crossed our mind when packing.

Our first stop after picking up our car was lunch - Burnt Toast Cafe was highly recommended by a coworker who had once lived here.

BCYK: Vancouver & Squamish

I found myself back in Vancouver ten months after my previous trip (and a month before my next). We were here for a few days before heading up to Yukon, and I was excited to be back on the west coast less than a year after my last visit.

Squamish is undeniably beautiful but terribly touristy. I was looking forward to doing the Chief (link to the future!) this time, but unfortunately my hiking companions were not up for it.
