Now that we are back, we are starting to go through little video clips that we shot during the trip. It’s kind of fun because we can relive little bits of the trip as we go through the files. We think we will probably post some video clips periodically in the coming weeks.
We shot this series of clips leaving an area that we really liked along the Dempster Highway in Yukon, Canada. This spot was a bit south of the arctic circle. We really liked this area for a lot of reasons. The geography was pretty interesting with big, treeless scree covered mountains that were in clouds most of the time. The lower elevations were covered in scrawny muskeg forests. We camped in the area several nights and the weather changed continuously while we were there.
A lot of the time it was gray with clouds moving quickly through the valley. We were also treated to some warmer weather, rain storms, and really amazing rainbows while we were there. This spot gave us some of the best wildlife viewing along the Dempster Highway. We saw many Dall sheep, grizzly bears, and falcons.
At this point along the Dempster, the truck was pretty covered in mud. We also drove this area pretty slowly keeping an eye out for wildlife and just enjoying our time. Other than being a generally rocky area, the road was pretty good.
