<\/a><\/p>\n2. Caribou migration southward began, we see several made fearful by the hinting season opened since almost two months.<\/p>\n
3. I never tire of these landscapes… <\/p>\n 4. I find other paintings of ice…<\/p>\n 5. … that trap pebbles.<\/p>\n 6. The next day, we explored a valley north of Antigun Pass to climb a nearby summit. <\/p>\n 7. We stop at a pass after a hard climb. The view is gorgious.<\/p>\n 8. Mino rests admiring the scenery.<\/p>\n 9. Going down, I manage to approach ptarmigans in moult.<\/p>\n 10. This one is already quite white…<\/p>\n 11. … while the neck of that one just starts to lose its summer color.<\/p>\n 12. This end of day still reserve us a beautiful light.<\/p>\n 13. VivaLaVida along beautiful granite peaks…<\/p>\n 14. … and goes down a large valley.<\/p>\n 15. A pond that reflects Chugapak Mountain.<\/p>\n 16. Crossing the Brooke Range is really beautiful.<\/p>\n This concludes the report of our visit to the Dalton Highway. We continued towards the Denali where we spent the two last days before Mino’s departure.<\/p>\n 17. VLV strikes a pose in an old railway tunnel.<\/p>\n 18. Quick \u00ab\u00a0wild\u00a0\u00bb visit (because unauthorized) of a still active coal mine.<\/p>\n 19. In a rather aesthetic side canyon.<\/p>\n 20. VLV has managed to go up the riverbed to pose in front of the cliffs sculpted by wind and rain.<\/p>\n 21. Since it is difficult to realize the size of VivaLaVida on pictures – when seeing for the first time, Mino exclaimed \u00ab\u00a0Oh what a monster!\u00a0\u00bb – I took advantage of her presence to give you the scale. She stands under the mirror..! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n 22. We are approaching a small lake that will give us a nice camp for the night.<\/p>\n 23. The south wind blows in gusts but offers me some sunrays.<\/p>\n 24. We sleep on the windy shore…<\/p>\n 25. The next day, we explore the mine from the top, after a track more than 35% steep !<\/p>\n 26. The fall colors have invaded the forest…<\/p>\n 27. … and the tundra.<\/p>\n 28. The sky clears as the sun sets down…<\/p>\n 29. … coloring the nearby mountains of the last boondocking for Mino.<\/p>\n 30. Last colors on the ta\u00efga.<\/p>\n That ended the few weeks when Mino traveled in VivaLaVida. She walk the over 180 miles I hiked during these almost six weeks and has cooked me some really good dinners! Thanks to her. \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n At the time of this writing, I do not know what will be the road ahead yet; so you will discover it in a future update. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Before quietly thinking about joining back Anchorage where Mino will take his plane, we still made two beautiful hikes. 1.
