Northwest Territories and the Yukon

Autumn colours and snow can arrive early as mid August on the tundra.  The vast panoramas dotted with herds of caribou are equally as wondrous as the tapestry and complexity of the tundra's microcosm.  The following selected painting were completed along the Canol Heritage Trail which passes through the NWT and Yukon border in northern Canada.  Special thanks to Dechenla Lodge for their hospitality.
