Description:
In this video, On July 17, 2023, during our drive from Eagle Plains to Fort McPherson, we stopped for a hike in the foothills of Mount Hare, Yukon. The hike area is located north of Eagle Plains, north of the Arctic Circle rest stop, to the east of the Dempster Highway. To emphasize, we hiked the foothills of Mount Hare, not Mount Hare itself. This hike was an introduction for grandsons, Brayden and Adrien, to hiking in mountain tundra, in grizzly bear country. We did not see grizzly bears during the hike, but we did see several areas of vegetation that appear to have been dug up by grizzly bears. And we saw bear scat. We did see two grizzly bear later that afternoon, about 30 minutes north of where we were hiking. It was a very windy day and the is wind noise on the video audio!
Join us as we stretch our legs and enjoy a hike in the foothills of Hare Mountain, Yukon, along the Dempster Highway.
Super cool foothill
It is certainly cool. More so when you look back at it LOL.
Mount Hare was the only time on the entire trip I was genuinely scared of being eaten by a bear.
Well, a little concern is health. But, there were 4 of us, we had lots of bear spray, and we made lots of noise :)
Was that really thinly layered rock some kind of shale or sedimentary rock? 2:21
Exactly! That thinly layered rock is shale. It represents a small basin that lay off the west coast of ancestral North America, before the Rocky mountains started to form. Good eye!
