The Yukon is "Larger Than Life" and with this incredible adventure you can truly experience the magnitude of Canada's northern territory.
Venture into a land untamed in Kluane National Park, hiking through towering mountains and catching views of icefields larger than you can comprehend. Follow the footsteps of the Goldrush to Dawson City where we dive into the life of a gold prospector, Can-Can shows and all.
Dare to drink the famous "Sour Toe Cocktail" with a real human toe in it (optional, but surprisingly tasty) in a historic saloon in the old mining town.
Explore Canada's "Patagonia", hiking in the Tombstone Range and catching unforgettable glimpses of Mount Monolith in the distance.
Get up close and personal with the northern wildlife in the Yukon Wildlife Preserve on a walking tour, where you have the chance to spot moose, muskox, elk, mountain goats and many more amazing species.
During our drive to Dawson we stop along the way for a well deserved soak in the delightful hot springs at Eclipse Nordic Spa, complete with steam rooms, hot springs, plunge pools and more!
Most people would wrap it up there, but you're not "most people" are you?! We head further south to explore Carcross and the Southern Lakes district of Yukon, where we hike up an incredible mountain for epic views of the surrounding mountain range that separates Yukon from the Pacific Ocean. This is where early prospectors had to climb over White Pass with all their equipment before starting their river journey to Dawson City in search of a brighter future.
Finally, on day 7 you have the choice to be dropped off at the airport for 8 am or hang with the crew for some sightseeing and a walk around Whitehorse before arriving at the airport for 2 pm.

Today we head out for the crown jewel of Kluane National Park0 King's Throne. This hike takes us past the shores of Kathleen Lake (which is stunning) and up to a bench with epic views of the surrounding area and lake below. From here we climb higher still to the top of the ridge and have National Geographic worthy views of the surrounding mountains and icefields below and to the west, as well as Kathleen Lake shimmering far below.
From this height you can truly apperciate why they say Yukon is larger than life. It's not uncommon to watch several incredible sights at once, like a dust storm in the distance, rainbow below you and snowflakes blowing past you, all while in the summer sun! There truly aren't words to express the beauty so we will let you see for yourself!
Time permitting, we visit the Da Kų Cultural Center to learn about the timeless history of the local First Nations that inhabit the area, as well as learn about the Park in the Parks Canada interpretive center.
After you have learned your fill we head north along the Klondike Highway, bound for Dawson City. As we catch glimpses of the Yukon River you can imagine what the journey would have been like for gold prospectors 130 years ago, as they travelled by raft, sternwheeler and canoe through the wild lands of the north.
Once we are in Dawson City we check into our hotel and explore the town.
Today we head out to explore Tombstone Territorial Park and stretch our legs on a hike in what is known as the "Patagonia of Canada".
We stop in the interpretive center and learn about the local flora, before heading out on the trail for Grizzly Ridge where we get some fairly easy alpine views of Mount Monolith in the distance. Once we reach the top of the ridge, we can keep going as far as we feel like before heading back out.
After our hike we head back to Dawson City for dinner and a fun night at a Can-Can show, entertaining ourselves in the same way the gold prospectors did long ago.
We depart from Dawson City and head back south to Whitehorse, stopping at the Yukon Wildlife Preserve on the way. Here we take a 2 kilometer walk around the park and you will have countless opportunities to see the many amazing animals that call Yukon home. Watch for moose, muskox, elk, mountain goats, lynx and more on this amazing experience! You will be able to get photos of them and watch them in their natural environment.
Depending on time we either go for some sightseeing or a small hike around Whitehorse and then get checked into our hotel for the next two nights and go for dinner.
Our last big day of exploration, but certainly not the least! Most people totally miss out on the splendour that awaits in the Southern Lakes district of Yukon, but not you! We head 45 minutes to Carcross, home of the world's smallest desert, not to be confused with world's smallest dessert, which would be tragic. From here we head out on a hike to get back up into the alpine and soak in some more world class mountain views. The lakes that surround Carcross are endless and make for a very cool backdrop for your mountain-top selfie!
Today you have the option to be dropped off early at the airport, or at 2 pm. If you are able to be dropped off later, we can head to the local hot springs and go for a soak in the warm, soothing waters. There is no better reward after all the hiking you have been doing!
