The pair come close - too close - to dangerous electrical clouds swirling over Tucson, Sedona and Monument Valley.
With summer wildfires overpowering the Yukon forests, host/adventurer George Kourounis follows the fabled route of the Klondike Gold Rush sourdoughs through the bawdy town of Skagway, Alaska, paddling the white water rivers and the White Horse Rapids into the Yukon.
