Canoeing and hiking adventure in the Yukon
|
|
Experience a variety of activities on this canoeing, hiking and lodge-based adventure. If you have ever dreamed of canoeing and hiking in the Yukon’s pristine wilderness or imagined spending unforgettable days at a remote wilderness lodge, then this trip is for you! Whether paddling the waters of the untouched Yusezyu River—which flows into Frances Lake—or hiking above the tree line in the Logan Mountains, you will see caribou, bears, and eagles in their natural habitat. Between adventures, you will spend your days hiking, fishing, canoeing or relaxing under the vast blue sky of pristine Frances Lake. Your evenings will be spent relaxing around a blazing campfire or enjoying the other comforts of a rustic wilderness lodge, where cosy beds, hot showers, a private sauna, and nourishing home-cooked meals are a welcome and luxurious change to the days in the bush.
