[@rhondaz356]

This is ABSOLUTELY one of my very favorite channels. Each video is informative, entertaining, and interesting... just chock full of beautiful sights, highlights of places to visit, and places to eat. Today's video is a perfect example. Everything flows so well together. I come away having learned so much. Thank you, Josh and "Pops". You did it again.👏🏻🤠🤠👏🏻

[@ThroughMyLens]

Wow, thank you! Really appreciate that! We try very hard to be fun and informative so I am glad it comes across like that

[@nutmeg208]

Thank you for showing my old home, the Log Skyscraper. I lived in the territory for about 20 years from the mid 70's to mid 90's - and in Whitehorse for 5 of those years, where I lived in the one second from the top. I think that was my favourite home of all time. It was log on the inside too, but when I went back to visit years later, I saw they had drywalled it. Dunno why .....

[@user-ui9in4yr6e]

Hej I’m from Sweden and my husband and I spent a summer in west Canada 1977. We hitchhiked from Vancouver to White Horse. Spent midsummer eve there. Rented a canou and sent up Youkon River. What an adventure! So nice to see how it looks like now! Thank You!/ Monika

[@MsOthomson]

How special! Love this story

[@peonycottageboutique4154]

I am Canadian and although I've been to Alberta on numerous occasions, I have never gone to the far north-west to see the Yukon. Any friends I have who have gone to the Yukon raved about it, so maybe one day. For now, I'll just enjoy your adventures with Pops, on the road again.

[@violetbf3773]

It’s always fun to learn the historical stuff of the places you visit. And Pops does an excellent job explaining everything. You guys are a great team! Excellent video as always 🙌🏽

[@TheYukonnahanni]

Thank-You, for this wonderful Vid. of Home, as one is so far away from Home, these days, but memories & Homesick remains.. i HAVE LIVED & WALKED EVERY PART OF THIS VID. You did it Proud !!! :)) Once again,, T.Y !! :))))

[@RayNomadic]

That boat ride would be a one of a kind experience for sure. Lots of history there

[@CacheCanada]

Not just another pretty face. I have been enjoying many videos that you have produced starting with your Route 66 series which I used for research for our trip. I like your voice and how you put together a video. Your 'Pops' is pretty cool too and reminds me of a couple people we know.

[@Danika_Nadzan]

Thank you both for another great video! Your father-son adventures are wonderful to watch because you know how to have fun together, your enthusiasm is infectious, and your interests differ but blend well. And your terrific content is beautifully produced every time! (Yes, Pops, you're definitely more than a pretty face! Great line, btw.😉)

[@popshiking]

@Danika_Nadzan Thanks for your support! Hopefully Josh will take your pretty face comment to heart! Hahaha!

[@NormanSilv]

In 1956 I rode the White Pass and Yukon behind a steam loco from Skagway to Whitehorse. Great ride. On my way to Yukon Forests Ministry job near Carmacks Crossing.

[@MOSCOWZ]

Super Excited tour..white horse part of Earth is most luring and heart touching scenery. These trees and mountains speaks to me. Incredible place.long live white horse. Love you cannada. ❤❤

[@KittyBennett-gy8qi]

Josh n Pops....Thank U for your videos..l loves these lve been marathon vidoe watching...enjoyed

[@LauraNiemond]

Pops did great!

[@donnatucker8377]

I’m about to take my 1st ever trip to Charleston SC and was so hoping you and pops would have some points of interest and places to eat there. Maybe you’ll make that trip one day. I do enjoy your informative videos

[@JimJoeKnoxTenn]

Charleston is one of those places that demand return visits to take full advantage of all it has to offer -- historic sites, home tours (spring for sure), plantations and Civil War, museums, time on or overlooking the water -- and especially restaurants; it's very much a foodie town. Enjoy!

[@natlovell122]

What an awesome video and an amazing place. How cool you and your pops get to travel together and make lasting memories. Thanks for sharing

[@ThroughMyLens]

Glad you enjoyed it! We love traveling together for sure!

[@Mervyn001]

Been following your channel all the way from route 66!!! Great video & audio & information, you know how to handle a camera, not making us dizzy 😊 keep it up. Btw, im watching all the way from South Africa 👍

[@lindareynolds525]

I visited Whitehorse in 2004. Loved the people , the town and views are amazing.

[@travelertrome8449]

Another great video, Josh and Pops! So stunningly beautiful. And that Emerald Lake? Wow! I want to go back to BC. I haven't been there since I was 7. I am 52 now. Long overdue!

[@tonydrives]

Love pops! He's really stepping up his game!

[@tahirrazzaq9494]

Pop nailed the Outro!!!

[@popshiking]

@tahirrazzaq9494 Yeah, that one came off ok in 1 take! Usually I have to do a lot of retakes.

[@floridatrader1027]

Thanks guys for sharing this adventure. I enjoy your channel a lot.

[@rephaelrechitzky9763]

Thank you for visiting our beautiful country. Hope to see you visiting more.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thank you, I will, it was so stunning!

[@poges]

I saw your Whistler video so have subbed. I love this Whitehorse vid as I was there in 2007. We toured the SS Klondike. So cool.

[@lorraineoback4962]

Looks like a fascinating trip. I've never given much thought to travel in Canada, beyond hopping over the border to visit Victoria and Vancouver, but this video has definitely expanded my travel aspirations. Thank you.

[@PixicsAdventure]

That desert area is an interesting place, Never seen sand dunes with pine trees growing there.

[@barrymeyer2805]

Love your videos are so good well done

[@InterstateKyle]

I really want to check this out one day. The Yukon, Kluane National Park, and Dawson City are bucket list for me. Really want to drive the Alaska Highway one day. Thank you so much for this video. Will have to check out some of the places you visited in Whitehorse!

[@popshiking]

@InterstateKyle I totally geeked out on Whitehorse and the Yukon!!

[@cindywestlake6278]

[@beebeesfuntasticadventures6110]

Another fantastic travel video, I enjoyed it.

[@markakira8988]

Awesome consistent high quality content as usual. Keep living the Dream! I bought a Garret Gold Panning Kit off Amazon the first time I went to the Yukon in 2005. Its collecting dust now amongst other things like my pullup bar and exercise bike lol.

[@amybergue2891]

We did the same tour but it took us 4 days. Awsome! Unfortunately, photos or videos are unable to capture the beauty of all differents landscapes we have seen. A place to visit and see for oneself.Thanks for this nice stroll on Yukon memory lanes.

[@popshiking]

@amybergue2891 You are so right about pics/vid verses the real thing!

[@claudiabejarano5048]

Thanks, it was Amazing 🎉

[@MLPdiver]

Very impressive camera work! I go to the Stuart air show in Florida every year and can’t come close to your fuming skill. Kudos!

[@viktorponomarev]

I've been living in Dawson City for a month now.🖐🖐🖐I arrived at the very coldest point.😮😮😮👍👍👍

[@gregransick6228]

Wonder if you can hike to that suspension bridge over the canyon

[@ThroughMyLens]

Yea, you can walk over the suspension bridge and go on a hike. It is a really cool spot!

[@mixeddrinks8100]

your dad is the final boss at the visitor center... hahaha I do find there are certain places where the staff has less idea than the actual tourist. Pretty sad imo.

[@djp1234]

I just drove through there on my way to the Arctic Ocean

[@bethseachrist5075]

When do you play to visit Cuyahoga National Park?

[@AliAhmadi-hq9pj]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@pat13487]

❤

[@deisygonzales5980]

What moth did you travel too?

[@PixicsAdventure]

Whoa, your dad is 6'7", that is crazy tall.

[@Desaiumang0473]

How can we find the house for rent and job over there

[@PixicsAdventure]

So curious what a forest tastes like

[@ThroughMyLens]

haha I know right?? 😂

[@JohnDoe-xk8iy]

If pops is 6'7" how tall are you about 6' 5"?

[@jesses9347]

Bad news people the Alpine bakery closed because of the crackheads next door after 30 years......

[@CatCassandra]

Please guide me as to what camera you are using… I take beautiful photos but the ratio always causes a black “ bookshelf” bars on the playback 🥲
