Trip Description: The Yukon is a land of vast and unique wilderness. Few places on earth harbour such expanse of
unspoiled wild lands. The Yukon, known as the land of the midnight sun, is home to Canada’s highest
mountains, which are found in Kluane National Park, and are part of the largest non-polar ice field in
the world. If you haven’t experienced a northern summer prepare for an energizing experience. The
midnight sun provides seemingly endless days in mid-summer. Although the sun sets for a few hours in
the southern Yukon, it is light enough to read a book at 2 o’clock in the morning. August is the month
the stars return and wilderness travellers once again have the chance to see the northern lights. We
head out to explore the breathtaking wonders of the Yukon.! We'll greet you at the airport and transfer you to the Hotel in downtown Whitehorse. The River View Hotel is located next to the Yukon River and within walking distance of all attractions, restaurants, banks and stores. Information meeting at the hotel and time for last minute shopping for outdoor equipment if needed. Stroll along the Yukon River with a possible visit of the Visitor Reception Centre and the sternwheeler SS Klondike. Dinner on your own.
 After breakfast at the hotel we'll depart Whitehorse for Haines Junction and Kluane National Park. At the park centre in Haines Junction we’ll visit the exhibits and watch the slide show. Lunch in Haines Junction (on your own), then drive to the Sheep Mountain Visitor Centre. From here we'll hike up Sheep Creek from where we can see Kaskawulsh Glacier on a good day.  Dall Sheep and Grizzly Bear can often be seen on this hike as well. Hiking time is about 2 to 3 hours. Drive to Kathleen Lake where we'll camp for the night. Set up of tents and dinner at the campground. We'll share a great evening around the campfire with stories and songs. ^TOP In the morning we'll pack up our tents and drive to the Blanchard River where our river adventure begins. Here you'll change into your rafting gear (wet suit, PFD and helmet) for the exciting trip down the Blancard River. Before you board the raft you'll be instructed about how to paddle and handle the raft in any situation. Lunch en route on the banks of the river. After this fabulous trip we'll drive back to Haines Junction and on to Muktuk Kennels for our dog mushing experience: this is a hands on demonstration of dogs, harnessing and hitching to sleds. Introduction to mushing, training ride with buggy and stories about dog mushing followed by a BBQ dinner around the campfire in the dog yard. Our campsite for the night is only a few minutes away. Today the pitching of tents will be very quick and soon we'll fall asleep next to the Takhini River.  Breakfast in camp, followed by packing and preparations for our canoe trip. We'll load up the canoes and start our canoe trip with paddling instructions for a safe and fun trip on the beautiful Takhini River. En route we'll break for lunch on the shore of the river. We'll reach the Takhini River Bridge in mid-afternoon. Here we'll take out and load up our equipment for the drive to the Takhini Hot Springs where we'll soak in the hot water before returning to town. Farewell dinner at a local restaurant. ^TOPAfter breakfast, your on our way to the next adventure. Excluded:

In fact, at Nature Tours of Yukon, our guests by and large come to Whitehorse to take part in a Northern Lights tour that will likely render them speechless. If you would get a thrill out of experiencing the razzle-dazzle of the Aurora Borealis firsthand, we would be just as thrilled to help you plan a customized trip. You may have heard about the Aurora Borealis, or perhaps even seen some captivating pictures of the Northern Lights in books. We assure you that these photos you may have seen can in no way compare to actually viewing the Aurora Borealis in person. The magnetic pull of the dancing lights in the midnight sky will lock your eyes in the upwards position, as you will not want to blink for fear of missing one moment of such exquisite natural beauty. The Northern Lights have been inspiring people around the world for centuries, simply because they are so wondrously captivating and magical, that no man-made display of lights could ever match their twinkling beauty and grace. Lose Yourself in the Aurora Borealis Could you use a little rest and relaxation? Perhaps you could use a little reprieve from the high-tech world we live in for some quiet solitude out in the Canadian Yukon. Imagine sitting in a heated tent surrounded by pristine wilderness, with the Northern Lights being the only illumination around you. If you long for some peace and quiet, let the sparkling lights of the Aurora Borealis transport you to that place in your heart and mind that feels content just being the observer. There is nothing for you to do but simply enjoy the natural fireworks display of the Aurora Borealis. You and your fellow travelers can enjoy some hot chocolate and good conversation, from the comfort of a heated tent or cabin, without any ‘To Do’ lists to worry about or errands to run or people to call. When you take a Northern Lights adventure tour with us, you can check your responsibilities at the door and allow the natural beauty of the landscape to envelop you and intoxicate your senses. |
