Sporting and gorgeous road up to MacMillan Pass on YT/NWT border. Awesome views of mountain lakes, streams and vistas...
Found a First Nation's hunting camp with friendly set up just across the border for tasty supper of grouse and lentils.
Then a wonderful Northern Lights display/ conversation as they hovered over the rig, keeping us company. Again, no photos - it's more of an experience and feeling than image.
But Brother Moon did rise full in a gunsight of the Mackenzie Range.
Up before the sun to start coffee, interact with the Lights a little longer and enjoy a crisp 25° start to a mountain morning.
Listened to several coveys of ptarmigan greet the morning across the valley. Also had some sort of large visitor moving thru the willows near camp which got my attention enough to make the hair stand on the back of neck and the shotgun sit on my shoulder. Whatever it was wandered off.
Started back down the road, visiting with hunters, fishing, eating wild strawberries for breakfast.
Another new road today!
More fun above 60° latitude!
