Hey, sadly not my post trip report, but i just think Kristin's videos on youtube deserve way more views than they've had so far. An epic trip along the length of the the yukon river by kayak, hiking to the start point over the Chilkook Pass, following in the footsteps of the thousands who headed up in the Klondike gold rush. Loads of respect for this girl- not making a big fuss about her trips, just out there doing them, making great videos and generally seeming pretty cool.

An amazing trip by a really inspiring adventurer:
Link is for first video of fifteen.

Thanks for the link, I just watched four of her videos.
What an awesome young lady. Talk about pursuing an interest in history!

I think she has a trip report on here somewhere about her traverse of the Brooks Range in alaska- worth a read as well. Another epic journey

Thanks for posting, I just finished all the videos. What a great trip! She is one tough backpacker/paddler. I am sure paddling through the wind, rain, and cold for that long was very hard, but she makes it look easy. Not to mention doing it solo…

Looks like someone else kayaked the whole Yukon River in 2014 too. They each started just days apart:
