Join Kayla, Jason, Barley, and Niffler as they run to Guyishton Lake, drive to Stewart British Columbia, and then run to a glacier. We had a lovely run to Guyishton Lake and found plenty of internet at the Stewart Visitor Center (free) and at Meziadin Junction (paid). On a whim, we parked between Stewart and … Read more
We FINALLY fixed the door! Boya Lake and Jade City were gorgeous, the mosquitos feasted upon us, and we made it to the Yukon. As a consolation prize for not making it to Edziza Provincial Park, we headed to King’s Throne Peak to hike most of it. We left the dogs behind due to rockfall … Read more

Once in Tombstone Territorial Park, I show you the gear I bring on a trail run in an ultra-remote place with … Read more

The pandemic has changed a lot for all of us, especially when it comes to travel. The Canada-US border has reopened but is different from 2019. In May 2022, I took my dogs on an epic road trip from Montana to the shores of the Arctic Ocean. We crossed the US-Canada border on May 19 … Read more

It’s one thing if your dog doesn’t respect strangers, but what do you do if your dog is disobedient and rude with your husband?
