They call it “north of normal” for a reason and you realize why just before entering the Yukon. A grand geographical area it is!
Mountains and hot springs are everywhere and a plethora of tectonic activity lies just beneath the surface. This trip up was my first time laying my eyes on the Northern Rockies, although I’d just spent two months relatively near Rocky Mountain National Park itself in Colorado.
The area of the Northern Rockies is a part of the world where the power of nature is the most authoritative being. In this day and age sometimes we need that visual reminder.
