My Next Goal

I've just signed up to do a 5-day backpacking trip at the end of August on the Chilkoot Trail, in between Skagway, Alaska, and Whitehorse, Yukon. Seeing as I'm always much more motivated to exercise when I have a particular goal in mind (e.g., a triathlon or a running race), this should keep me going for a while.

(US National Park Service Site about the same trail)

As always, Mountain Equipment Co-Op (MEC) has good checklists and articles about preparing for such a trip, plus I found a good Backcountry Trip Planning form at the BC Provincial Emergency Program website.
