The most powerful words cannot describe the unrivalled wild beauty, and immense, almost deserted expanse, of the Yukon. This round-trip will bring you a little closer to one of the last completely wild spots of the world. You will get to know it from several perspectives:

• By canoe down the mighty Yukon River; once feared, the Five Finger and Rink Rapids will be small obstacles on our way to Minto, an old Sternwheeler stop.

• Hiking tours will bring us into the breathtaking mountains of the National and State Parks. For two days we will trek through the picturesque beauty of the arctic tundra and mountains near the Arctic Circle.

• At Dalton Post we will go for a river rafting tour on the Tatshenshini River, one of the most beautiful and wildest rivers of the world.

• By Airplane, we will fly over Kluane National Park (optional). This park contains the highest mountain range in Canada, and the largest non-polar ice fields on earth.

• By passenger van, we will roam the northwestern highways and gravel roads.
  The Alaska Highway, Klondike Highway, Top of the World Highway, and other roads stretching deep through vast wilderness. Majestic mountain ranges, virgin forest, mountain tundra, serene lakes, and untamed rivers are the most substantial component of hundreds, often thousands, of kilometres of wilderness that will surround us in its awesome and magnificent grip.

Day 3 and Day 4
Two days of canoeing down the Yukon River lay ahead of you. Although once feared, the Five Finger and Rink Rapids will not present a problem, even for beginners. A fascinating, peaceful feeling will embrace you while you drift by impenetrable forest along the riverbanks. Tens of thousands of adventurers, greedy for gold, took this same route during the Gold Rush to reach their dream destination - the Klondike. The canoe tour will end in Minto, an abandoned stern wheeler depot. In the afternoon of day 4 we will follow the Klondike Highway and the Silver Trail to Keno, an abandoned Ghost Town founded during the Silver Rush of 1911.
