Gems Of The Yukon | Hiking Tour With Hotel Stays

We pick you up birght and early from your Whitehorse hotel at 9 am, or from the airport and head 2 hours to Haines Junction.  From here we go for an introductory hike to get your eyes accustomed to the incredible views and your lungs used to the pristine northern air.  After the hike we settle into your lodging for the next two nights and head out for dinner.  Sheep Creek- 15 km, 1100 meters elevation, 6 hours  Haines Junction Lodge/ Hotel for 2 nights 

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!  King Throne Trail- 15 km, 1250 meters elevation gain, 6-7 hours. 

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.   Dawson City Hotel for 2 nights
