YUKON

I found the least populous of Canada's territories to be incredibly warm and welcoming, despite the fact that I was traveling through in May and it was still below freezing. The lushly stark landscape is alive with taiga and tundra, young rivers and some of the tallest mountains on the continent.

TESLIN SUNSET
The sun sets over Teslin, a peaceful stop along the Alaska Highway.
DONJEK
The view from the Alaska Highway over the Donjek River plains to the rugged, glaciated peaks of Kluane National Park and Reserve.
KLUANE LAKE
The lake, still partly crusted with ice in late May, was not actually all that cold near the shoreline. I took a dip and it was delightful. The astounding scenery of Kluane National Park helped.
