The surrounding mountains, up to
2000 meters/6.500 ft. high, touch the waters of the endlessly winding Big Salmon River. The
riverbanks are entirely overgrown by deep impenetrable brush and
forest;
however, with some luck you might spot moose,
bears, lynx, or wolves, and often you catch sight of
beavers and bald eagle on the
Big Salmon River. The
fish you catch can provide variety on the daily menu. Everyone will have
the
opportunity to learn a few
tricks of wilderness survival. At the end of the tour you reach the
Yukon River; 
where your canoe trip ends at Little Salmon Village. This little First Nation village
is occupied only
during the salmon fishing
season. A short drive in a van will take you to Carmacks and on to Whitehorse.
