  Episode #3

  ((Podcast)) by Pascale Halliday & Keith Halliday: mining the motherlore

  Aug 19, 202639 minS15

  The Klondike Gold Rush History Podcast was a labour of love between two Yukoners who share a deep-rooted passion for local history. Produced by Pascale Halliday and her father, Keith, the 22-episode series guides listeners on an epic journey from the origins of the greatest gold rush the world has ever known to its apogee during Dawson City’s salad days of ’98. And, of course, they can’t get from one to the other without spending some nerve-wracking time on the Yukon River. From an interview near the famed manes of the now-tamed White Horse Rapids, Pascale reflects on her personal connection to the gold rush and the family affair of the podcast’s production. Then she goes with the flow of our Fall issue’s current theme—rivers, rivers, rivers—by introducing our presentation of the episode “Bennett to Dawson in a leaky boat” from the Klondike Gold Rush History Podcast .

  The Yukon Questionnaire w/ fish & wildlife enthusiast Dennis Zimmerman

  Aug 5, 202625 minS15

  Rivers run through our fall series… and fish clearly run through Yukoner Dennis Zimmerman’s stream of consciousness. “I can get kind of nerdy on fishing,” explains the self-described fish and wildlife enthusiast, who proves the point in our latest Yukon Questionnaire. Dennis will hook you with a great story about Rock River—a place that many Yukoners are hard-pressed to even locate. He’ll reel you in with his close observations of local bumper stickers. And, finally, he’ll let you go with his thoughts about “The Spell of the Yukon.” You'll definitely want to catch our podcast's latest release!

  Have Fun—Will Gravel

  Jun 10, 202630 minS14

  <p>Send us Fan Mail</p><p>Gravel biking may feel like a relatively new corner of cycling, but in many ways it brings the sport back to where it started: rough roads, mixed surfaces, long distances, and a little uncertainty about what comes next.</p><p>With the Kluane Chilkat International Bike Relay coming up on June 20th, from Haines Junction to Haines, cycling is very much on our radar. And while KCIBR is not a gravel ride, the Yukon has more than enough rough roads, back roads, construction zones, and in-between terrain to make a gravel bike feel...
