- Atlin BC, has been an absolute on my list of destinations this summer, because it was my Grandfathers favourite place. My Father has requested me to go here nearly every time we talk, and I finally have made it. Immediately I can see why my Grandpa enjoyed this place so much, but unfortunately for me it has stormed nearly every day since I arrived. There was a few things I wanted to do while here, but unfortunately they will not all come to fruition this visit, just because the cold is pushing me south quicker than I had hoped.
That being said, I still did get to go out and do some exploring and hiking here, and Atlin is such an absolutely beautiful place. The lake is very large, it is surrounded by glaciers and the water is beautiful and clear. The Arctic Grayling fishing is fantastic, and there is history all around. In this adventure, I head across the lake to fin the old location of the Taku Short Line, which was Canadas shortest railway. The beginning of the rail line, on the Atlin side, is actually quite easy to find, unless you're me. Somehow I walked right on past the beginning and started my trek in the forest. This wasn't really a bad thing, because I did find some secret cabins, and in the end I did find my way to the old railway line ( Tagish Lake) there are the remains of several rail cars and the old station and waiting room. There is quite the assortment of relics to see along the hike, and ultimately the hike its self is a beautiful edition to the experience.
After my visit to the Short Line, I made my way down the lake to the base of the rock glacier. I had been asking around town to see if I could find a trailhead to the glacier, and luckily I was put onto a general location of an old trail. It took a little searching, but sure enough the trail was there. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it all the way to the glacier, but I made it close enough to share with you guys some beautiful views of it.
To finish it all off, I felt the desire to share with you all some of my experience filming in Glacier Bay National Park, and teach you all a little about Glaciers.
I hope you all enjoy this video, and I hope that you may consider supporting on Patreon: / destinationadventure

Another Canadian here. Your my top favorite these days my friend.
Thousands of study hrs on UA-cam & in between my field work.
Your stuff all around is great.

Every time I see a trailing shot of you getting on the water I always think: Man, he's got to go back and get that camera!
Haha me too.
Exactly what I keep thinking too. 😂. Go Dustin
Alaska is beautiful. In the summer 1978 l visited a small village called Yakutat. I got the chance to see the Yakutat Glacier. Truely amazing. Mayor of Yakutat offered to take myself and my aunt there. The tide was going out in the bay at the time we arrived. Most of the fallen icebergs where off to the side. We had just about close to a hour before tide change to listen to the thunder as sheets of ice fell into the ocean. The Mayor mentioned that the indigenous people would paddle their canoes close to the icebergs to touch and test their bravery. Thank you for sharing.
Surfing capital of Alaska
@@AlaskanMisfit487 actually its funny you mentioned that. One summer day l clearly remember seeing people water skiing in wet suits in those waters LOL.
Dustin, I am with you step by step taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of these special places you explore. Now, I must see a real glacier in the north country of this continent! 🤗
Gorgeous scenery!
I have several exploring channels, you are by far my favorite.
I love your videos man I have been watching them for awhile now and they just keep getting better.

This is amazing and your vlog is WAY better than television. It’s always exciting to watch your adventures. Thank you!
Thank you once again for letting us travel with you to parts of Canada 🇨🇦 that we would never have seen otherwise.
WOW - You have my deepest respect for what you do !!
As always, great scenery, great narration !!
Well done !! You are the best !!
Love how you show respect to the property you visit !! So many people would be taking home a souvenir!!
Keep up the great job that you are doing !!!
Shotgun is a nice touch. Stay safe in the wilderness.
Is that a shot gun or a mono pod for the camera?
@@JohnHill-qo3hb Shot gun all the way I had to go back and pause it
Just amazing. I’ve always been a geography nerd, and I used to gaze at the map of British Columbia wondering what the heck Atlin is like. Coming from big city Burnaby, there’s always a sense of curiosity in me about northern BC. Your glacier segment was fascinating, and so important to talk about. Climate change is hitting glaciers HARD. They are stunning features on our gorgeous planet. As always, thanks for embarking on such epic adventures, and taking us along with you. I am a fan.
Beautiful! I always enjoy your adventures and appreciate your sensitivity to our planet. Thank you
New levels of respect for you, Dustin!
Wow.. and the glacier treat at the end.. stunning!👍😎👍
Thank for the hike to see the old rail station and abandoned rail cars. Thank you as well for the mini course about glaciers. Love the videos.
Trains are the best, one of the things on my bucket list is to train hop from Ontario to BC
I train hopped years ago for a week. Unbelievable experience.
@@Destination_Adventure that's so cool man, please tell me there's a video?!
I used to live up in the Yukon country, and I miss the beautiful scenery. You Videos up there bring back great memories. Thanks for the great content.
Found myself in Atlin 1982.
Great place...always promised myself to get back there sometime. It's an awesome place. Enjoy your time and thanks for the video
I'm super glad you exlored that I saw the railway right of way on Google Earth years ago and have been curious to know what was left!!
Ahh yes mushroom time of year those nice big ones are good to cook up 👍 watch out for the posionus ones of course... Great video mate love the adventures 😊
Beautiful scenery, gorgeous clean & clear water, and the glacier footage... I am in total, speechless awe.
Captain D, another outstanding video.. I love the glaciers at the end. A video on Glaciers would be super cool, I've always loved, living in the shadow of the Comox Glacier..
Awesome place. I can see why those folks built there. Best regards.
The book "Alaska/Yukon Railroads: An Illustrated History" by Howard Clifford has a short chapter on the Taku Tram (the railway).
Tyler Lees>> Thank you for the reference! I was just wondering if those were narrow or regular gauge or something else entirely and if I could find some info on that line down here in the Excited States. Now, at least, I have something to go on! In those Victorian days, nobody could tell anyone that something was impossible or too difficult. It was an amazing time of sheer cussedness and a lot of genius yet so much of the evidence is rotting away or has been built over top of. Thank goodness stalwart history and nature nerds like Dustin just have to get out there and see what's beyond the end of the road or over the mountain tops!! And, always drop a line or two of fishing line for something fresh for supper : )! What an amazing channel!!
I Love your new camera work.
It's a lot of extra effort but the new angles and macros really spice up your adventures
Excellent video
Thanks
Wow! Loved the footage of the glaciers calving! Incredible! Thanks again for a great video.
Stunning scenery! Thanks for sharing the information about the glaciers . Look forward to your next adventure.
AMAZING footage!
Thank you sooooo much for sharing all your adventures with those of us no longer able to get out there and see it all for ourselves!
The details of Earth's formations are so varied and intricate.
And we humans leave marks that nature soon wipes away...thankfully!
Beautiful.

What cool little places you always seem to find. Those glaciers were absolutely stunning.
My dad would claim that old Toyota would have another 3 to 5 years in her :P
I’ve heard of Arlin but I’ve never seen it beautiful country up there and your glacier footage is stunning. Great video 😃
Great video Dustin, beautiful scenery combined with history and some education at the end, totally enjoyed allways looking forward for your next adventure. Thanks mate.
Mate, I really enjoy your vids. Not pretentious or fake. It is as if we’re watching a good friend on his adventures. And the scenery, just beautiful. One more thing, your choice of music is spot on. I find myself wondering what great songs you’ll be using, as soon as I see another one of your videos drop.
Great work!

Wow Dustin…I learn sooo very much from you, each time that I watch your video’s…& I’m old enough to be your mother😳🤣 I ALWAYS sooo enjoy the scenery!!! I’ve never been to Canada, but it is very beautiful!!! A bit to cold for this AZ adapted girl!!! I lived in WY for 32 years, sooo was used to it…my body has acclimated & I pray that I never have to go back!!! I remember, all to well, the…not being able to feel your fingers & toes, the wind that cuts straight through to the bones, the shoveling at 4:30 am, just to be able to get out of the driveway to go to work…ohhh yes…the good ole days…NOT!!!😳 I’ll take cozy, by the fireplace, any day 👍🤣 I learned sooo very much about glaziers that I didn’t know!!! When I could walk, I was on one in MT! But had no idea how magnificent they are!!! Sooo very sad that global warming is destroying them😰😢 Thank you Dustin, for sharing this wonderful adventure with us! I loved it ❤️
Environments are beautiful, clean, clear, & smell good, when people are not involved to ruin it, so nice you get to enjoy that
I think this is my favorite show on u tube .I like shows with real life and people .thanks ❤
So funny just as you walked into that cabin ,my neighbour that has a fire going, the smoke hit me and it was almost like smell a vision. It’s like I could smell the stove going 😁
Keeping your sanity with the bugs out there….you must be a pro!
Great video , I'm disabled,but share your adventures through your eyes. Thanks for sharing.
I didn’t know this about glaciers!!!!! Thank you. Simply AMAZING
Another fantastic Dustination ! Loved the special talk and videos of glaciers. Ain't Canada beautiful !
👍❤️🇨🇦✌️
I discovered some of your older videos through UA-cam recommendations. Gotta say UA-cam has done me well, love the content.
SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!! Loved hearing about the glaciers and how different they are and how they work!
Thanks for answering the explorer's call, for you're a natural at it. You are such a goofball, and you make me laugh out loud. Loved the glacier video, and heaven knows Kimberly will never be the same. 😲 Carry on, young man, in keeping us entertained!
That cabin was almost a "skin griz" cabin from Jeremiah Johnson!
Absolutely correct about Hubbard Glacier and how spectacular it is. I have seen several and none compare to the size. Also liked that you were carrying your "pool cue" on your hike. You never know what you will run into out in the boonies!
Dustin, that was done so beautifully, I love your camera work!
Take care!
Be safe!!
the roof on the ground that you saw might be an underground cool storage,,ive seen a few abandoned ones on farm properties
I seen some houses like that, easy to keep cool in the summer and easy to keep warm in the winter.
Dude ! You’ve been holding out on us ! That glacier footage is super cool ! Thanks for sharing. 🤙
OMG thanks for adding the glaciers & education at the end.
What's up Dustin!
Thank u for sharing another amazing place. The mountains majestic, the glaciers magnificent, the land

Fascinating but most of all I loved the glaciers most of all and the education you gave me about them. Thanks!
Smell a vision. Love that ozone smell right before a thunderstorm. Happy trails!
I like your choices for soundtrack music. Thanks for putting their credits at the end of each video.
Thanks for sharing the awesome glacier footage! I really enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work.
Hi Dustin
Catching up on past videos, thank you!
My wife and I are seriously considering moving out to Victoria in 4-5 years for our retirement. Well my retirement, she will keep working a few more years. Anyway we really enjoy your travels and appreciate all your hard work that you put into it.
Kindest regards
Greg & Sandra
🇨🇦❤️🙏🏻
My late Bride and I travelled BC, Yukon and parts of s. Alaska in 2005 for two months the in our van, tenting most of the way. We visited the townsite of Atlin and learned that the Yukon and White Pass Railroad brought visitors to Atlin in the early part of the 20th century, to spend a vacation on one of the luxury lake boats that plied the waters of the Atlin lake.
we love that hike and Lelyween glacier hike is awesome too
I Really Enjoy Your Exploring Videos From Western Canada And The Music You Choose is Really Amazing As Well Long Live #DestinationAdventure
Great intro w the kids✌keep up the great videos....scenery is amazing....thanks tomk fdny
Stunningly beautiful!! I hope to travel to Atlin this next warm season.
What beautiful country ! Thank you . You’re always welcome to come explore northern Saskatchewan with us !
I had no idea about glacier’s, thank you for simplifying the meaning. Beautiful videography work man, cheers👍
Very cool ! Loved all the glacier shots and talk.
Awesome as always Dustin
The end of this video is fantastic! Amazing photos and video. I miss Alaska. Can't wait to go back!
I think this may be my favorite video of yours...the footage at the end was stunning. Nicely done!
Wow! Have to say, this was one of my favourite videos of yours yet! I was really looking forward to seeing Atlin, but the extra info and footage on the glaciers was just the icing on the cake. Truly spectacular!
PS had to laugh when I saw you step off your boat and had all the bugs swarming around you. On our trip to the Yukon, although we very much loved Atlin, it was indeed the most "buggy" places we went to.
Awesome thanks so much Dustin.
It was interesting to see parts of the glaciers breaking off and falling into the waters.
🤔
so beautiful, Thank you for the amazing footage. so sad of us human to lay destruction slowly to this beautiful planet .
Absolutely beautiful!
Spectacular job Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventures through the woods and the great white north and GOD-BLESS
Man the glacier stuff at the end - stunning!
Awesome dude thank you! Wow what beautiful country always waiting on your next adventure. Glaciers are beautiful also but my belief is the earth has been warming since the ice age and like a ice cube the smaller it gets the faster it disappears
I’m under that belief too. The main problem is the amount of humans and their affect on the land
Great adventure, as always. Stunning scenery, as usual!
Thankyou for that bonus! Never knew all that! The more u know ❤
Really enjoyed the video of the glaciers and the tutorial about them, thanks.
That was educational and fun to watch! Thank you for sharing!!
Wow, thanks for sharing your knowledge of the beautiful area and the lesson on glaciers, they are incredible.
Amazing, thanks for sharing
Man oh man I will tell you that was just outstandingly beautiful country I am from Michigan my parents and my grandparents are from Canada I'll tell you every time I watch your episodes I want to be a Canadian again although I was born in the states sorry but man I'll tell you you go to some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life just a little cold that's the only bad part but in a way it's a good part because if it wasn't then man would have destroyed it by now thank you my friend 👍☺️
Great video and more importantly the explanation of glaciers at the end. I have been fortunate enough to have seen Hubbard 3 times as well as Glacier Bay. They truly are a wonder to see.
Beautiful video sir, as always can't wait for the next one!
Just Beautiful! Great video Dustin!
As always Justin great content!!!!

Thx for the glacier portion, breathtaking.
Hell yes we enjoyed this!
WOW!! Amazing scenery. Would love to visit there too!!!
