Outstanding pictures. Thanks for sharing. I plan to do a similar trip next year, late summer. Though, I'll be leaving from Seattle area. I have been considering taking the Ferry from Bellingham in to Ketchikan then drive up Alaska (if possible) that way.

I'll look in to the specific of such a venture early next year. Turns out the ferry is about 515.00 one way; 540 with my dog. I initially thought about this, because I do want my handgun and my shotgun and not have to deal with Canada border people. Though, I go up to Whistler at least once a season and I've never had troubles entering Canada, I have never wanted to bring my dog or firearms.

Your pictures of the Yukon might make it worth while.
Glad you, your boys and the wife made it safely.

Can't wait to see more pictures.

I considered the ferry, but after doing the drive I would do it over again 100 times. BC is incredible, and I would hate to miss any of the Yukon

I found lots of pictures from my phone from the trip. I'll sift through them this week and post up some of my favorites. I've been out on a few hikes lately, but this is clearly my biggest 'accomplishment' since arriving 4 months ago. August 30th, 5 of us went out on a charter, 14 total fish, including my two
