Kluane National Park is stunning! We camped at Kathleen Lake in a beautiful treed spot with the sound of quaking aspens all around us. We’ve taken short walks and strenuous hikes.
One day we treated ourselves to a short flight in a very tiny and very bouncy airplane. Behind the beautiful
Peaks seen from the ground, huge glaciers that resemble of ice slowly wind down immense valleys. Canada’s highest mountain, Mt Logan, was mostly wreathed in clouds the day we went up, but other peaks displayed their majesty and the magnificence of God’s creative power.
We will soon be wending our way out of the Yukon and back into BC for our slow trip home. There are still sights to see along the way.

Autumn is beginning to show her face here in the north. Trees are turning colour and the animals are getting ready for winter. I hope that is an encouragement to you who are suffering tremendous heat.
Lorrie, I had to read back to the beginning of your plans for the trip, with the map, and so glad I did. What an amazing trip you're taking! Seeing it in depth without rushing too much has got to make you so proud of where you live and leave you with a lifetime of memories. You certainly captured some stunning sights. Just to actually see the Arctic Ocean must be something that not many have done and make you feel like an explorer. I'm going to hold onto those thoughts of fall happening somewhere on our continent and let it hold out hope for someday reaching us here in TN. Safe travels to you!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! What a great trip.
ReplyDeleteI think you were very brave to take that flight over mountain peaks in a very tiny and very bouncy plane.
ReplyDeleteWhat a splendid flight over some of the snowy tops of your Canadian mountains. I have flown over the Alps several times and seen similar sights - it always leaves me in awe - pristine snow that have never seen a man's footsteps.
ReplyDeleteNature is great everywhere, but especially in remote places like the Arctic area with lands bordering it belonging to Canada, Greenland, Scandinavia..
ReplyDeleteWOW! The majestic beauty of those mountains is amazing.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding photographs!
ReplyDeleteEnlarged, your husband's photo is even better. Thank you for sharing your magical adventures
I'm so enjoying the postcards Lorrie. I think the tiny plane journey must have been fascinating to be able to look down on such superb scnery.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are gorgeous. The flight must have been incredible! An experience of a lifetime!
ReplyDeleteWow! How beautiful that plane ride was. Enjoy this wonderful trip of yours.

Amazing vistas, Lorrie!
ReplyDeleteI bet that airplane ride was amazing. A once in a lifetime experience. I’ve been loving all the photos posted on IG. Happy travels. B x
ReplyDeleteA flight in a very tiny and very bouncy airplane sounds like a brave thing to to.
ReplyDeleteBut I guess the views are totally worth it!
Hugs and blessings, Lorrie.
I’ve enjoyed scrolling through your photos of your trip, Lorrie! What a fun adventure for you and Tim, and how great to have house sitters.
ReplyDeleteThose mountains are just stunning. Such a magnificent view. I'm sure it made the bumpy plane ride worthwhile!
ReplyDeleteLorrie - an incredible shot from the plane. It is reassuring to know that there are still places in the world with glaciers!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing adventure.
ReplyDeleteThe plane ride and seeing those majestic mountains is just stunning.
Enjoy the trip home.

It sounds like you are having a wonderful time! Such beauty!! Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteThis is a part of the country I have never visited and I envy you the experience. How magnificent it is,
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the beautiful postcards from the road which I received all at once. And it was such fun catching up that I am forgiving myself for being so far behind in my blog-reading! ... I'm so glad you had fun on your trip -- we absolutely love our Alaska adventure and I am loving seeing it through your eyes! (I know quite a few people who have traveled to the State but you are the first I know of besides us that have made it to the Arctic Ocean -- definitely a highlight of our trip also !!)
