Day 37 of Lupe’s 2017 Dingo Vacation to the Yukon & Alaska!<\/em><\/p>\n

8:54 AM, 47\u00b0F at the lower part of a two-tier pullout along the Dempster Highway SE of Surfbird Mountain<\/em> – The promise of those hopeful pink glowing clouds late yesterday evening had come to naught.\u00a0 After a fitful night’s sleep, Lupe woke to fog and light mist.\u00a0 Not what SPHP had been hoping for, but the Carolina Dog seemed happy enough, despite her sore right rear paw.\u00a0 She eagerly explored the bushes, sometimes hopping about on 3 paws.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

After her morning romp, and a leisurely breakfast of chili, English muffins, and cheese, the American Dingo was ready for the day’s main event.\u00a0 Though the light mist had ended, the sky remained overcast.\u00a0 Fog cloaked the mountaintops.\u00a0 Conditions weren’t really very promising.\u00a0 Nevertheless, Lupe and SPHP left the two tier pullout, heading S on the Dempster Highway in the G6.\u00a0 (10:49 AM, 49\u00b0F)<\/em><\/p>\n

When the highway crossed the East Blackstone River, Lupe wanted to stop briefly to check it out.\u00a0 The river was lovely, and though not far from its headwaters, already a good-sized stream.<\/p>\n

Loop made another stop in the North Fork Pass area.\u00a0 The lower slopes of\u00a0 Goldensides Mountain<\/span><\/a> (6,000 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>, her peakbagging objective for the day, were in view.\u00a0 Discouragingly, clouds hid the summit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
From North Fork Pass<\/strong>, Goldensides Mountain<\/strong> (Center) is partially in view, its summit hidden by clouds. Part of Black Cap Mountain<\/span><\/a> (6,000 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> (L) can also be seen.\u00a0 Photo looks SE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If the weather stayed like this, there wouldn’t be much point in climbing Goldensides, but maybe the sky would clear up later on?\u00a0 At the very least, Looper could take the 1.5 km trail to a couple of viewpoints S of Goldensides Mountain.\u00a0 She would still be below the cloud cover, and ought to be able to see something.<\/p>\n

Lupe and SPHP drove S looking for the turn to the Goldensides trailhead.\u00a0 A side road appeared near kilometer 74.\u00a0 That had to be it!\u00a0 The side road went E up a hillside, arriving at a small parking area next to a fenced microwave tower roughly a kilometer from the highway.\u00a0 A sign confirmed that Lupe was at the right place.\u00a0 (12:00 PM, 46\u00b0F)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The Goldensides trail was in good shape and easy to follow.\u00a0 From the very start, Lupe was surrounded by beautiful fall foliage.\u00a0 Before long, Looper was getting views down the North Klondike River valley.\u00a0 She could see the Tombstone Interpretive Centre<\/strong><\/span><\/a> down there.<\/p>\n

At first, the trail gained elevation slowly.\u00a0 As Looper continued onward, she began climbing more steeply, but still at only a moderate pace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Fall had already arrived in Tombstone Territorial Park. The hardy tundra plants featured amazingly brilliant colors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lupe was well along the trail, when she came to a fork.\u00a0 A side trail to the R led to a nearby rocky hill.\u00a0 This hill is the first main viewpoint along the Goldensides trail.\u00a0 Naturally, Loop went to the top of the little hill to check it out.<\/p>\n

Loopster could see the main Goldensides trail heading E toward another hill not too far away.\u00a0 The official trail ends at the second hill, which is the final viewpoint.\u00a0 When SPHP was done taking in the scenes from this first hill, Lupe continued on to the last one.\u00a0 Coming down off the first viewpoint, she stopped next to an interesting column of rock.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Lupe reached the end of the Goldensides trail less than an hour after leaving the trailhead.\u00a0 From here, she could see more territory farther up a valley to the E.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Although the mountaintops were still in the clouds, the beautiful mountainsides were worth coming to see. Colorful slopes presented a combination of rich reds and golds of the tundra mixed with both light and dark grays of the rocks. Photo looks SE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fold Mountain<\/strong> is the massive peak seen beyond the North Klondike River valley<\/strong>. Photo looks SW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the end of the Goldensides trail, Looper had gained nearly 700 feet of elevation.\u00a0 The summit of Goldensides was another 1200 feet higher.\u00a0 To get there, the Carolina Dog would have to scramble up the steep S face of the mountain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Here at the official end of the Goldensides trail, Loopster had gained nearly 700 feet of elevation. If she wanted to continue to the summit of Goldensides Mountain, she would have to scramble up the steep S face. The summit was up there somewhere, another 1200 feet higher. Photo looks N.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The S face didn’t look too bad.\u00a0 Lupe could probably do that!\u00a0 While the sky remained completely overcast, the good news was that the clouds had lifted somewhat.\u00a0 The top of Goldensides was no longer in fog.\u00a0 May as well go for it!<\/p>\n

The Carolina Dog left the end of the Goldensides trail heading straight for the S face of the mountain.\u00a0 As the slope became steeper, she began climbing toward the NW.\u00a0 The idea was to get up on a long SW ridge that looked a bit easier than a direct assault on the S face.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
From here, Lupe headed directly toward Goldensides Mountain<\/strong>. As she reached the area where the S face started getting steep, she angled NW (L) trying to reach the SW ridgeline (L).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Intricate tundra plants on the S side of Goldensides Mountain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lupe climbed and climbed.\u00a0 The mountain got steeper and steeper.\u00a0 At first there were helpful lanes of vegetation to follow between the rocks.\u00a0 Higher up, it was nothing but rock.<\/p>\n

Loop is a great scrambler.\u00a0 She had no trouble at all.\u00a0 She had plenty of time to look around at the views as SPHP struggled to carefully pick a way up the mountain behind her.\u00a0 Most of the dark rocks were stable, and smallish to medium sized.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The climb was steep, but not scary.\u00a0 Lupe finally did reach the SW ridge she had been aiming for.\u00a0 She was already very high on the mountain.<\/p>\n

Peering over the ridgeline, Loop made several discoveries.\u00a0 First, the other side of the ridge was even steeper.\u00a0 She would be best off staying right on the ridgeline, or on this SE side of it.\u00a0 Second, she could now see a long way N beyond North Fork Pass to the East Blackstone River valley.<\/p>\n

Third, and most importantly, the summit of Goldensides Mountain was still considerably farther away than expected.\u00a0 Fortunately, it looked like getting there would be easy, if Loopster could reach a smoother ridge seen NNE of her present position.\u00a0 It wasn’t possible yet to see how hard that might be.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>
Lupe reaches the SW ridgeline. She’s already quite high. The summit of Goldensides is farther off than expected somewhere over on that ridge beyond her. Photo looks NNE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Climbing NE along the ridgeline, Lupe found a path.\u00a0 Others had been here before!\u00a0 That was reassuring.\u00a0 Loop must be on the right track.\u00a0 It was starting to look like getting over to the smoother ridge to the NNE wasn’t going to be a problem.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Making progress toward the smoother ridge on the L. Photo looks NE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The American Dingo hadn’t traveled far along the SW ridge when SPHP realized she was rapidly approaching a massive rock formation on the ridgeline ahead.\u00a0 How was Loop going to get beyond that?\u00a0 Suddenly, what had seemed easy was now worrisome.\u00a0 The informal path Loop was following led straight toward the rocks.<\/p>\n

The path went right on up to a high point next to the rock formation.\u00a0 Looking over the other side, there was no path, only a rock strewn slope dropping steeply away.\u00a0 To the SE (R) was a tall, straight, solid wall of rock.\u00a0 Was this the right way?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>
The informal path Lupe followed on the upper SW ridge ended here next to a wall of rock. Photo looks NE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This had to be it, didn’t it?\u00a0 If Loop could get down from here to the rocks at the base of this wall, she could easily scramble back up the other side to the easy terrain leading toward the summit.\u00a0 She only had to safely descend 25 or 30 feet.\u00a0 Looked like it ought to be possible, if none of the drops were too high.<\/p>\n

Loopster and SPHP started down.\u00a0 Eh, not too bad.\u00a0 At one particularly high drop, SPHP had to ease down first, then help Loop get down, too.\u00a0 That was it.\u00a0 Cake!\u00a0 Well, almost.\u00a0 Anyway, Lupe had made it over this rocky little pass.\u00a0 Henceforth known as Dingo Pass, of course!<\/p>\n

Once safely over Dingo Pass, Loop had to scramble across a boulder field at the base of the wall of rock.\u00a0 No big deal.\u00a0 She soon got beyond the boulders, and arrived on a smooth gravel hillside.<\/p>\n

The Carolina Dog had reached the lower end of the smooth ridge she had seen upon reaching the SW ridgeline.\u00a0 Ought to be easy going from here!\u00a0 In fact, Lupe could see some sort of tower or antenna ahead.\u00a0 Maybe that was the summit?\u00a0 If so, she had it made.\u00a0 Easy, squeezy all the way!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Beyond Dingo Pass and the boulder field at the base of the wall of rock, Lupe stands atop a gravel hillside. A tower or antenna is in view on the L. If that was the summit, Lupe was almost there! Photo looks NNE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lupe made for the tower.\u00a0 Before she even got close, it became apparent the tower or antenna or whatever it was, was not at the summit.\u00a0 A higher hill came into view farther NNE.\u00a0 Two knobs of rock could be seen up there, perched along the W edge.\u00a0 Maybe that was the summit?\u00a0 Before heading over there, Lupe went to the antenna first.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

From here, it was easy to see that the rock formation she’d crossed was a huge band running completely across the upper S end of the mountain. Dingo Pass<\/strong> is toward the R. The gravel hill she had been standing on is at Center next to the rock formation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Well before Lupe even got to the antenna, this higher hill with two knobs of rock on it appeared farther to the NNE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lupe reaches the “tower”, which turned out to be an antenna with a solar array.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It doesn’t take an American Dingo long to inspect a little antenna and a solar array, not when there is a lofty summit to get to nearby!\u00a0 Loopster sniffed around the antenna for a minute or two, then it was off to the higher hill.\u00a0 It wasn’t as far away as it looked.\u00a0 As Lupe approached the top, she could see that the two knobs of rock were actually large cairns.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Heading toward the higher hill from the antenna. Photo looks NE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yes, this was it!\u00a0 The highest natural rocks were at the N end of the hill.\u00a0 Lupe stood at the true summit of Goldensides<\/span><\/a> (6,000 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>!\u00a0 Grand views all around.\u00a0 Too bad clouds hid all the higher peaks, but at least the top of Goldensides wasn’t lost in them.\u00a0 Looper could see a lot, despite the overcast sky.<\/p>\n

The top of Goldensides Mountain featured not one, but three cairns.\u00a0 The largest was closest to the true summit.\u00a0 Not content with merely standing on the highest natural point on the mountain, Lupe clambered up on the biggest cairn, too.<\/p>\n

The return trip was uneventful and, of course, stunningly beautiful.\u00a0 The cloud cover had lifted quite a bit over the past few hours.\u00a0 SPHP wished the sun would break through, if only for a little while, but it never did.\u00a0 After a time consuming descent of the S face waiting for slowpoke SPHP, Lupe made it back down to the Goldensides trail.\u00a0 The rest was easy.<\/p>\n

Beautiful Goldensides was the last mountain Lupe would climb in the Yukon in 2017.\u00a0 Soon the American Dingo would have to start for home.\u00a0 Yet one more big adventure awaited her in Tombstone Territorial Park.\u00a0 Tomorrow she would take the Grizzly Lake trail to see Mount Monolith<\/span><\/a> (7,000 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
