Our first morning with frost on the truck! It was chilly, but the clear blue skies embellished the cold! We felt invigorated waking up on the edge of nowhere!
This was the view of the Ragged Mountains in the early morning sun ...
After a hearty breakfast in the wilderness silence, we headed out the same route we had traveled the day before.
There are no concrete barriers along the road and no buffers along steep cliffs either ...
We weren't doing anything near 70 km/h ...
Many of these pictures were taken from inside the truck while it moved; obviously we weren't moving along too fast!
The view approaching the valley ...
The valley presents many stunning vistas. The colours in the fall are
fantastic!
This view looks down the valley towards the Logan Mountains (Selwyn Mountains).
Every so often we stopped to take pictures and breathe the fresh air.
The Little Hyland River traveled along the road's edge through this valley ...
Such good fortune to have these clear blue and bright skies! My little 3.2megapixel Canon A70 point & shoot didn't do too badly capturing the colours.
It appeared this creek had flooded in the spring and washed away the original bridge ...
Some lakes had amazing colours. As well, being September the abundance of fall colours contributed to some amazing scenery ...

The Hyland River bridge was one of the few "modern" bridges we encountered. It felt odd to be on concrete and smooth road surface!

We weren't in any hurry so certainly weren't pushing the speed limit. It was great to meander in this wilderness.
Westbound a few miles east of the Nahanni Range Yukon gov't campground
We stopped for late lunch at the campground, and then decided to carry on.
We kept our eyes open for a good boondock spot for the evening. Our first choice was occupied so we carried on. Eventually saw this narrow dirt "path" leading to a decent spot alongside Dolly Varden Creek. Steve backed the truck in.
Later, when I looked at our tire marks over the dirt "path" the tires on the left side of the trailer were not completely on solid ground during the crossing. Which made this site even more special.
Boondock spot alongside Dolly Varden Creek
I think the dog wasn't overly impressed with the camping spot. Jake was a great Bear Warning Device (BWD) and also an excellent Bear Protection Unit (BPU), which I learned to greatly appreciate.
