CANOL Trail Prep

Written by:

A friend and I are hiking the CANOL trail next week! Well, about 2/3 of it anyways – from Godlin Lakes (Mile 170) to Norman Wells. We’ve been doing a ton of prep work, including many hours spent dehydrating food for the trip.

Richardson Mountains

We’re still not allowed to leave the territory, fortunately we have some nice mountains on our side of the border that are accessible from the Dempster Highway. We drove out there to go hiking last weekend.

That mountain pass in the distance is the Yukon border.
