I was working in the Yukon Territory for a few weeks so of course the camera went too. Saw a fair amount of animals and particularily a lot of bears- being spring and all.

Any way, here's a few shots

Sow grizzly



Black bear sow with 3 brown cubs

Nice pics, maybe one day I will be lucky enough to go there myself.

I love the tree shot Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing I enjoyed it!!!

I want to go back! those pics are like a Robert Service Poem!
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

Everyone wants to go back! I was there in 1998 and noted that most the non-native folks I met there where from somewhere else and now lived there instead.

I was there for a moose hunt, but fishing happened too.

Awesome, love the Sow Grizzly need ta frame it.

I did go back... last week! The Mrs & I took a week for ourselves and I asked her were she wanted to go; Oregon Coast or somewhere else. She barely skipped a beat and said "back to the Yukon" (she came up to visit the last few days I was up there last time). It just so happened that our friend in Whitehorse was going caribou hunting at that time so we tagged along.



It certainly is! Here's a couple from last week. We were just a tad too early for the really vibrant colours.

I mined in Dawson City for 11 seasons. The Midnight Sun was my favorite. I see at 2 am there's still a line up to get into the bar.

bedrock,

The Westminister is still open too

Really cool pics...especially the bear cubs in the tree !!

Tuff - I got kicked out of the Westminister back in 1971 but I have been back a few times. When you're a miner you do end up in the Pit.

My son and I were fishing the Stikine River a month ago...what a wonderful piece of the world.....oh, the fishing was good too !!!
