Starting the ski/hike out on July 5. Our Base Camp was about dead center, on the Hubbard Glacier, in this picture. The first task was to cross the glacier. Then we skied up the eastern arm of the Hubbard Glacier to the headwaters of the Kaskawulsh Glacier. We skied and hiked the full length of the Kaskawulsh to the Slims river, which we followed to the Alaska Highway at Kluane Lake. We took 7 days, of which two were cut short by illnesses.
