Album : North America : Alaska And Yukon : Highlights (29 items)
Highlights1) Northern Lights
 We debated on whether it was the Northern Lights or just the Northern Clouds. A photo saved a thousand words. |
 |
|
2) Sky On Explorer Window
The reflection of morning clouds on the window. It's a nice scenery but we need nice coffee more. |
 |
|
3) Katherine Lake Overview
Didn't see any wildlife on the King Thorn Trail except this guy in red. |
 |
|
4) Snow Field
The tiny pool of snow qualified our destination as a snow capped mountain. |
 |
|
5) Kluane Lake
Glacier bit into the rocks, rocks sank into the lake, lake turned into the green. |
 |
|
6) Worthington Glacier
Glacier is just a huge piece of ice. People drive miles to see the big ice. |
 |
|
7) Glacier Droplets
Water is melting away from the glaicer in summer and adding to the glacier in winter. Every year, it's the same piece of glacier but different pieces of ice. |
 |
|
8) Smith House
Green, green, green and blue sky. |
 |
|
9) View Saw By The Miners
It's nice to be above ground. |
 |
|
10) Mountain Mckinley
This could be Mountain Mckinley or one of its close relative. |
 |
|
11) Sledge Dog
Happy puppy, happy sleep. |
 |
|
12) Savage River
Just some yellow flowers, nothing to say. |
 |
|
13) Arctic Squirrel
Somehow tourists think the rodents with bigger tails (i.e. the squirrels) are cute and deserve to be fed, yet the rodents with smaller tails (i.e. the rats) are disgusting and deserved to be poisoned. |
 |
|
14) Bathing Moose
Tourists think taking pictures of naked female moose bathing is not immoral. |
 |
|
15) Dall Sheep
This is a Dall Sheep, portly and demure. |
 |
|
16) Dall Sheep Resting
Picture perfect pose for a dall sheep. Now, adding a bear or coyote near the rock will definitely increase the dynamic of this picture. |

|
17) Army Of Dall Sheep
After an hour of ardent climbing, we reached the summit of the mountain range that might lead to the legendary Sable Mountain. It seemed the trail across the range is "ram accessible" only. After some rest and water stop, I noticed a few white dots across the far end of the mountain range. The white dots approach us in a rapid pace and soon identify themselves as eight harmless dall sheep. Soundless and emotionless, the sheep pass by us and ran towards the Sable Mountain. The wind subsided, the sheep vanished, and I began to doubt the reality of that magical experience. Luckily there are digital photos. |

18) Pioneers Of Sable Mountain
There's an infinite supply of mountains. |
 |
|
19) Eagle Soaring
Eagle soars, birds fly away. |
 |
|
20) Eagle Feather
I found a piece of feather. I hold a piece of eagle. |
 |
|
21) Caribou Encounter
Running into a caribou in the wilderness is different from sighting a caribou on the bus. The difference is like doing aerobic and watching other people doing aerobic in TV. |
 |
|
22) Ford Explorer On Top Of The World
Our Ford Explorer under the big sky on Top of the World Highway. |
 |
|
23) Dawson City
So it is Dawson city. |
 |
|
24) Dempster Highway
Dempster highway near Tombstone Mountain. We bushed walked from the road to the summit and back, proofing straight line is always the shortest but not always the easiest. |
 |
|
25) Midnight Sun
The sun never set. But people need to sleep whether the sun set or not. |
 |
|
26) Power Rangers
After twenty minutes... I meant hours of dangerous journey, we were so proud that we finally conquered the Arctic Circle ... Sign. We celebrate our success with an automatic photo. |
 |
|
27) Grey Mountain Looking Whitehorse
Whitehorse looking from the Grey Mountain. This is the place where a legendary gray horse had turned into a white horse during a natural decolorization process. |
 |
|
28) Miles Canyon
It's a small canyon. It's probably two miles long, so it's "miles" not "mile". |
 |
|
29) Bear Glacier
This Bear Glacier had frozen many polar bears inside during the ice age, hence the name. |
