Mount Maxwell, Kluane National Park - a photo on Flickriver

The most strenuous hike i have made during my vacation was the Tachäl Dhäl (Sheep Mountain) Ridge. It is a category very difficult. Used to American classifications I thought it wouldn't be that bad, but from the first moment it was steep, and sometimes very steep, and sometimes quite dangerous. So completely exhausted I arrived at the top, some 1300 meters higher. The view in every direction was the reward. And I stayed up there for an hour (I think I even slept, because I was wasted). But with Dall sheep and Lake Kluane close to me and this mountain view I didn't care. After 10 hours I arrived exhausted at my car, even the descend was a tough one!

To make this picture I had to wait quite a long time, because the clouds were covering the peak almost always, or there was so much shade It didn't look interesting. But when it finally came, this was the result! I by the way made two pictures with my 200 mm, and stitched them to make this panorama. More pics from this fantastic hike will follow sometime!

From 11 june till the 25th of July, I traveled in Canada. Starting in Brighton Ontario, where my sister lives at the border of an amazing part of lake Ontario, I flew to Vancouver, and Vancouver island where I took the boat at Port Hardy to take part 1 of the Inside passage, to Prince Rupert in BC. Two days later I took part 2 to Skagway in Alaska. When coming from Skagway Alaska, you can take the train to Carcross. it is a very scenic train ride that halts at Bennet lake.

And then to Whitehorse and further on by car to Kluane National park in the Yukon district. Whitehorse is situated at the border of the Yukon. From there I flew back to Vancouver, rented a car, and traveled three weeks in the BC- and Alberta Rockies, visiting the famous, and less famous Nature parks like Banff and Jasper. Last few days back to Brighton Ontario to enjoy lake Ontario once more, before going home. A picture of my itinerary can be found on Facebook (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152940536581759&set...).

4000 pictures later, it is quite a task to show the right stuff, although the stunning scenery guarantees at least a few great shots to share. Objective will be to make a book (for myself mainly), and that might take a while.

I hope you will enjoy the impression of my travel, one that equals earlier journeys to Alaska and south America, this journey was the first in the digital era, and equally intensive because of all the hiking activities every day on and on. I loved every minute of it.
