Guided Yukon Appetizer
Day 2-3: For the next couple of days, the ever-changing landscape of the Yukon River will cast a spell on you as you canoe down the mighty waterway. Stop at historic landmarks such as Hootalinqua, Shipyard Island and Big Salmon Village, where your guide will take you back in time to the Gold Rush Days, when the river was the highway for thousands of stampeders trying to get to the gold fields. Your chances of seeing wildlife such as moose, bald eagle, marten and beaver are excellent, and you might even spot a bear wandering along the shore. Your river guide will introduce you to basic paddling skills or review your technique so that you feel safe and comfortable doing one of Canada’s most popular outdoor sports.
Day 4: After a hearty breakfast, you will break camp and hit the water for the last leg of your river adventure. Past endless forests of spruce and pine, we continue as the river winds its way towards Little Salmon Village, our take-out point. The Up North Adventure shuttle will pick you up after lunch. The scenic drive back via the Campbell and Klondike Highway will give you the opportunity to reflect on the past few days and to catch glimpses of the river you just paddled. We will arrive in Whitehorse in the early afternoon – in time to pick up your RV or to get ready for your next adventure.
