I write this knowing that we are not alone. The pandemic disrupted everyone’s travel plans, near and far. In 2020, a trip to a local coffee shop became just as risky as visiting Uganda. Malaria and marauding hippos aside, an invisible virus halted everyone in their tracks and travel assumed new forms. My wife and I pouted for a long while that our second leg of hiking the Camino through coastal Portugal had to be folded up for another year, but we began planning a fall exploration of Yukon in a hopeful (naive?) way. As you may have guessed, our Yukon plans fell flat, just like a quiche prematurely pulled out of the oven.
Luckily, pandemic or not, we can still research and plan fantasy trips. There’s a lot that I love about Yukon already, without having ever stepped foot there. This is the itinerary we will follow as soon as the world permits! Enjoy this precious time to plot your own getaway.
