2 days of familiarization with the environment and the equipment
you will be using during the rest of the tour. You will also have plenty
of time to hike, fish, canoe, relax, take pictures and enjoy the silence
of Yukon's wilderness.
For 7 days you will canoe the Upper Liard River.
During the first hours, the river is fairly narrow with random
boulders and slow current. On the second day, the river widens
and
the speed of the current increases. Rocks, boulders and occasional
sweepers require your full attention. The Liard River is rarely
traveled so it provides good opportunities to view moose,
bears,
eagles, beavers as well as a wide variety of birds. The river is
boarded by almost impenetrable forest. The spectacular sights of
snow caped mountains will take your breath away all along the way down the river. After 6 days paddling the river, you will reach the Alaska Highway near Watson Lake. In the afternoon the waiting van will bring you back to Whitehorse (450 km / 279 miles). After an enjoyable dinner you may toast on the most memorable moments of the tour.
