A Yukon man is dead after falling into a canyon while hiking in the Carcross area last week. Dan Kemble, 64, of Carcross had been out hiking with two friends on Thursday in the Pooly Canyon area, according to a news release from the territory's chief coroner. Kemble had told the others he was interested in exploring some historic buildings in the Pooly Creek Canyon area. The coroner says that's when they discovered he had fallen into a steep-walled canyon. He also did a lot of volunteer work with the local cross-country ski club and the local fire department.
