Day 1
We'll greet you at the airport and transfer you to the River View Hotel in downtown Whitehorse. The rest of the day is at your leisure.

Day 2
We'll drive to Carmacks (180 km/120 miles), where we'll start our canoe trip down the Yukon River. As we leave Carmacks, you'll practice the essential canoe strokes you'll need on this trip of a lifetime! In the evening we'll set up our first camp on the shore of the river.

 Day 3
Thanks to the steady current of the Yukon River, we'll reach the destination of the day with little effort. As we paddle down river, we may encounter First Nations People out on the land fishing and hunting.  If we're lucky, we may see wildlife: bear, moose, beaver and even wolves inhabiting this great land of the midnight sun! Late afternoon we reach the abandoned Sternwheeler stop Minto where we'll spend another night in our tents.

Day 4
Today we'll head down river to Fort Selkirk by motor boat. One of the first Hudson's Bay Company Trading Posts in the Yukon that has been restored and preserved for posterity. As we walk through the village, we'll learn about how the trappers, traders and Indians used to live. Upon return to Minto we'll load the waiting van and drive north to the Dempster Highway. We'll spend the night at the Tombstone Campground.

Day 5
A day hike above tree line leads us into the untouched hinterland of the Tombstone Mountains and offers us great vistas. With some luck we'll see hoary marmots, caribou and certainly many different species of birds. In the evening we'll return to our campsite for a hearty dinner and another night in this awesome wilderness.
