On August 31, 2001, I worked with a writer-photographer team from Bike magazine, who were in the Yukon working on a feature on mountain biking in the Yukon. Here's my version of the scenes that appeared in the March 2002 edition. For a 2007 update on the mountain bike trail-building program at Carcross, see Mountain Do by Mark Koepke.

Above, unloading people and bikes from my pickup, at the 5,500-foot level
on Montana Mountain.

Below, the 1905-era mining pack trails provide great biking routes
high above Tagish Lake.

We had sun, we had rain, and we even had snow showers for a few minutes.
Below, rain showers and the White Mountain Range make a dramatic backdrop
for a rider. From here, they dropped down to the South Klondike Highway
on a trail that follows one of the best-preserved aerial tramways in
North America (featured in a Riding the High Wire, published in 2001 by the
University Press of Colorado). The trail is being promoted by Wayne Roberts
of Fireweed Hikes & Bikes, who coordinated this day on the mountain.
