Books

Yukon: Colour of the Land

Richard Hartmier • ISBN 1550173316

“What a moving and very realistic look at a land which at first glance may seem desolate and barren. To see the Yukon Territory through the eyes of this author is indeed a blessing. I will treasure this book for life.”

Yukon

Richard Hartmier and Tanya Lloyd Kyi • ISBN 1552851818

Grab your gold pan and sift through the waters of the Yukon River. Or jump on a bike and pedal your way along the spectacular curves of the Dempster Highway. The Yukon features some of this territory’s most remote and interesting locations. Photographer Richard Hartmier has captured the excitement of a kayak rodeo and the simplicity of a great horned owl surveying the land. From the dazzling beauty of Emerald Lake to Fort Selkirk, the home of the Hudson’s Bay Company, this is a colourful look at the diverse landscapes that make up the Yukon.

Richard's books are available from many retailers in the Yukon as well as a number of online book sellers.
