This is a nice short hike close to Whitehorse with great views of Fish Lake. While it is short in distance it makes up for in steepness and is sure to keep your heart pumping. The views are great early on of Fish Lake and even better from walking along the ridge. You can hike along the ridge as far as you like or simply enjoy a rest on the summit with beautiful views all around. This hike is beautiful in the fall months with the autumn colours and can be done in the winter too with snowshoes or a packed trail.

Martin on Auriol Trail
November 22nd, broke trail on skis all the way to the campgroud via the left loop. Deep snow all the way through, bring skins and floaty skis if you're aiming for the top. The right loop had a packed trail beyond the 2km post; I didn't check how far it went past the post, but it didn't reach the ca...

With the inversion it was a good 10 degrees warmer at the top of the ridge than down in the valley, and sunnier. Makes for a gorgeous day and a...

The terrain travels well as long as you maintain a bit of elevation traversing the 2nd bump. Plan on 15+km of off...

October 11: tiny bit of snow on some part of the trail. Fresh Grizzly tracks from I’d say max 48h but maybe less about 3km from the start of the trail and clockwise. Huge bear scatt which makes me think he must be a really big one. We made lots of noise on the way up. Didn’t see anything more th...

Ree on Samuel Glacier
Hiked/biked this trail today. The ground was frozen when I set out (around 11 am) and wet and muddy upon my return in the afternoon. The trail and valley are still snow-free and the creeks were at most ankle-deep, love fall hiking! I encountered two other groups on the trail. Took me around 4.5 hour...
