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: www.patreon.com/DestinationAdventure

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!

Your adventures are way better than anything I've ever seen, and thank you for reminding me how beautiful BC and the Yukon really are! You should get an award for your vlogs and videos.

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.

The book "Alaska/Yukon Railroads: An Illustrated History" by Howard Clifford has a short chapter on the Taku Tram (the railway).

My dad would claim that old Toyota would have another 3 to 5 years in her :P

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.
