OVERVIEW

 

Pick the package that works best for you and then let us help with the arrangements.  All tours are independent travel (no guides accompany you) to give you the maximum flexibility and keep the prices as low as possible.

 

There are SO many reasons to visit this Northern Frontier.

 

In the spring and summer you can see what it’s like to live in the land of the Midnight Sun with  daylight nearly 24 hours a day. You can go for a hike or a swim at midnight as easily as at noon!

 

In the late summer and early fall you can watch migrating herds of caribou.

 

And, starting in the early fall right through until spring you can look for the awesome Aurora Borealis / Northern Lights - a sight you will never forget!

 

Wildlife is common throughout the spring, summer, and fall.  On our last trip to the Yukon we saw herds of buffalo, several grizzlies, caribou, arctic foxes, deer and more!

 

The Yukon also has a lot of historical significance at it was the home of the famous Klondike Gold Rush centered around Dawson City.  You can try your luck panning for Gold or visit one of the old style saloons for a turn of the century Can Can show!

 

If you get to the Dawson City area, you have to take a trip on the Dempster Highway.  Not your typical highway, this road is gravel and clay and there are signs warning that certain parts of the road are also used as airstrips!  Incredible scenery is all around you plus this is one of the best areas to see Grizzlies and Caribou.   The highway crosses the Arctic Circle just north of Eagle Plains which makes for a great photo stop!

 

Rent a car or an RV in Whitehorse and you can even visit Alaska – “The Last Frontier”.
