When I first came up north, I couldn’t help but stop at this sign. I posted a picture of it on the Agatsu Instagram page saying, “Not today, but soon!” Well, soon has turned into today and we’re back at the start of the Dempster Highway! Earlier this season we made it to Prudhoe Bay, the official start of the Pan-Am Highway and the furthest north you can drive in North America. But I couldn’t leave until I made it to Tuktoyaktuk, the furthest point north you can drive in my own country, Canada. Of all the trips I’ve done this summer, this one was the trip I’ve been looking forward to the most.

Part 2 of our journey begins right where we left off, facing east on the Bonneville Salt Flats taking in one of the most glorious sunrises I’ve ever seen. After soaking up the sun for a bit Layka and I explored more of the area before packing up. The only trace we left behind were a few tire tracks but the imprint this area made on my soul was profound.

I remember watching an episode of Expedition Overland’s first season a while back and was amazed to learn that all their incredible adventures started with a trip to Moab to reflect and ponder the future.  I remember Clay and the crew saying how it was time to pursue their passion and how they needed to go to adventurous places and do adventurous things and how you can really find yourself by going on adventures.

The fun part of this trail is a series of switchbacks that are comprised of loose rock that need more attention. I was hearing stories of adventures past when other members of our crew had to winch out friends who had slipped off the trail! There were definitely a few “Pucker moments” but we all made it down the trail with ease.

The Whipsaw Trail is one of the most iconic trails in Canada and one that I have wanted to attempt for a while now. Over the August long weekend, I got my chance. Through Ian, a buddy of mine, I was able to join along with a group of Hummer enthusiasts on their Whipsaw trip. Although being excited about going, I will be honest, I was a bit nervous as well.
