At the end of our season in Skagway we decided to take the long way home so we could see a bit more of Canada (America's hat). Our travels took us out of the Yukon, down through Alberta and then across Saskatchewan and Manitoba. We dipped back into the US to go under the great lakes, and then drove back up to Niagara falls before heading down to Jennie's family in New Jersey.

The Chilkoot Trail is a 33 mile-long trail that starts in Dyea, AK and ends in Lake Bennett, Canada that was used by the stampeders to get to the gold fields in the Yukon. Hiking the Chilkoot was one of the first big adventures we took together in September 2012, and we decided to hike it again this last September. The first time we hiked the 33 miles in just three days, which didn't leave a lot of time for getting sidetracked (read about it on my old blog here). This year we decided to take enough food for approximately a week so we would have the freedom to stop anywhere we wanted and take time to really enjoy the scenery.

This last summer the company we work for, Alaska Excursions, began operating a new tour from Skagway out to Glacier Point to canoe to the Davidson Glacier. Here are a few of the pictures from each of our visits (we didn't get to to together).

Jennie is the Ginger. Steve is the Stache. This is our blog, because neither of us are very good at sharing our stories, pictures and adventures with friends and family. Since we don't always have access to internet I can't promise frequent updates, but we'll do our best to share what we can!
