What We Loved This Week: The Chilkoot Trail, Susan B. Anthony House and a Virtual Tour of Chicago

Eva Holland
The Chilkoot Trail. I spent four days hiking the old Gold Rush route from outside Skagway, Alaska, over the Chilkoot Pass to Bennett Lake, where the stampeders of 1898 boarded boats for the rest of the journey to the Klondike. It was hard work, but the scenery was outstanding. Here’s a shot from a few kilometers beyond the pass:

Monsoonal weather in Southern California, which yielded this rainbow I snapped in my driver’s side mirror yesterday.

The virtual architectural tour of Chicago—a moody shot of the Wrigley Building, the University of Chicogwarts—I took while researching a blog post. A good warm-up for my upcoming real-world visit to the Windy City.

This photo is my new desktop wallpaper. It’s the Susan B. Anthony House in Rochester, NY. I recently took the suffragette tour of New York’s Finger Lakes region and was amazed and shamed by how much I didn’t know. I grew up during the second wave of feminism and admire those women, but gave little thought to their predecessors. Until now. Thank you, ladies. All of you.
