Kluane National Park & Reserve - A Drive-By Plus a Fly-Over

What a fantastic day. I shot 4G of photos on the 35mm DSLR - plus a ton on the phone.

Today's trip was from Beaver Creek to Whitehorse - that was the "Kluane Drive-By". At the Haines Junction Airport - we hopped on a Cessna 206 supplied by the great folks at Kluane Glacier Air Tours -and did a "Kluane Fly-Over".

Boom - blew my mind twice today.

As soon as you leave Beaver Creek - it is fantastic - so very very pretty. Ranges of mountains on both sides - and ranges of mountains behind those mountains on the Kluane side (which is to our south as we go south-east).

I am going to have to find another word - but WOW is the best I have right now. It was just amazing driving. Fun roads - nothing very sporting except for a place or to - but nice - and the rivers and the mountains were breath taking.

Then - to top it off - at Haines Junction - we had arranged for a fly over with  Kluane Glacier Air Tours. Let me let the pictures tell the story.

First, a few videos.  If you looked earlier and these were not working - they should be fixed now.
