Yukon Wild - Multi Adventure 

Canoe Trip on Teslin River 
A short drive of 140 Km brings us to the start of our canoe trip at Johnson's Crossing. After a brief introduction into the basics of paddling we start out on the water. The rivers wide channel after leaving the mighty Teslin Lake, changes past  the first bend into a narrower and a bit faster stream. Quickly we settle into our journey through nature and wilderness. Moose and maybe the odd caribou can be seen on the open marshy flats that alternate with high sandy cutbanks on which interesting rock formations, known as hoodoos, call for unique pictures.  Side streams add clear water to the Teslin and allow for good fishing for pike and grayling. During high water season some stretches require our full attention, but mostly we get the chance to enjoy the river's medium speed and and ever changing landscape. Each night finds us at a different camp spot, where we set up our tents close to the water on sandy or grassy shores.
Where the Teslin River joins  with the Yukon River we get our first glimpse of the gold rush history. The trading post and telegraph station at Hootalinqua was a busy place- once upon a time. Now there are only some buildings and artifacts left from those heydays. Many relicts can be found hidden under an overgrowth of wild roses and willow bushes that remind of a time long gone.
The Sternwheeler " Evelyn" on Shipyard Island , is the only one left of its kind, along the river. 
Sunken in woodcutter cabins , dredges and mining equipment from the days of the Gold Rush and the Riverboats seem like a tucked away open air museum.

Soon we arrive at the native village of Carmacks, where some of us may end the river trip. They will be brought back to Whitehorse. New participants might join us on our journey further north

Too soon we arrive at the native village of Carmacks, the end of the river trip. 

Our Van picks us up and after a short stopover in Whitehorse we continue on to Kluane National Park. At the base of the Saint Elias Mountains we settle into the log cabin for the next days of hiking.

At Kluane Lake, fed by the Kaskawulsh Glacier, we start our hike  towards Sheep Mountain, home of a large number of Dall Sheep. Sometimes they are resting near the trail and chances to sneak up for a closer look are quite common. Red Castle Ridge on the other side of the draw got its name from the iron colored rocky cliffs.
Right below us expands the turquoise waters of Kluane Lake and the snow covered mountains in the back

We stop at the Visitor Information Center in Haines Junction with great displays about the park.
Optional activities are :
A white water rafting trip on the upper Tatshenshini River ( WW 4)
A glacier flight, to get you into the heart of Kluane National Park. From above you can see the largest non polar icefield of the world.
If this seems to much for you, relax at the cozy log cabin, or go for a walk along the Dezadeash River.

In the afternoon we drive back to the hotel in  Whitehorse 

Your last evening in the Yukon lets you acclimatise to civilisation.
