Border is scheduled to reopen August 9th.  I'm going up to the Yukon River again, taking a friend.  Easiest trip to plan for on short notice- no permits needed.  Logistics a bit harder this time though, as the Husky Bus service isn't running due to covid and no business, so will fly back from Dawson to Whitehorse to pick up the vehicle.

Tempted to spend a couple of days in Alaska after, but probably too many hoops to jump thru to clear the border.  Have to set up an account on ArriveCan" and fill in the blanks no more than 3 days before you plan to enter, and get a covid test no more than 3 days before entering - need proof of the vaccination as well.  Don't know how easy it would be to get that covid test in AK.

Ironically, I was within 2/10th of a mile of the border on July 24th, putting in on the N Fork Flathead river.  So I had to drive back to Denver to pick up my passport and covid vaccination record, though I would have wanted to do that anyway to get my good gear for the 2 week Yukon R trip and swap out for my PakCanoe.  Biggest issue right now is not being able to test the ArriveCan set up until 3 days before we plan to cross into CA.

I figure that I better get up there while the getting is good, before Delta hits harder and we are back to square one.
