The snow and wind were fierce coming over the Chilkoot Pass. Over twenty feet of
snow, huge drifts and avalanche paths a plenty. Then we were met with open
waters that turned to ice that turned to toil and great joy. After a very cold
and difficult week and a half start to the trip we were rewarded with
unsurpassed hospitality at Six Mile River Resort, where we
are taking a brief breather and hoping for some more ice to melt and get off
these lakes. Here are some photos to whet your appetite. More details will come
in a few weeks. Until then...

The four of us have gathered in Seattle. In less than a week we will begin the hike through the costal range on Alaska's southeastern armand move into the interior of that mythic place called the Yukon. Be sure to follow us under the Follow tab, and check in over the next four months with Canoe & Kayak magazine, who we will be blogging with. In the mean time: Adventure awaits!
