The Yukon River is full of history, beauty and wilderness. It is the Yukon’s most popular river to paddle and explore. The river’s consistently swift current, yet lack of technical water make it accessible to paddlers of any age and skill level. This 8-day voyage takes participants on a trip as much through time, as through the wilderness. The Yukon River embodies the history of the Yukon. It has served as the main transportation corridor of the Yukon and Alaska for both First Nations and early gold-seekers and settlers as well. As you travel the Yukon River you will gain an understanding of the Yukon’s rich frontier history from the gold Rush of 1898 through the paddle wheeler era. Many artifacts remain along the riverbanks for canoeist to experience first hand.
