Bushwhacking through tangled willows, crossing steep slopes and dealing with wildly varied weather will all be part of this adventure.
You’ll cross magnificent rivers under the midnight sun, learn how to camp in bear country and explore hidden areas visited by few. Hiking in the trail-less Yukon can be hard work, but the rewards are worth the effort. It’s all part of exploring one of the last best places on earth.
Throughout the expedition, you will receive formal and informal classes on a variety of related topics including map reading, first aid, leadership, plant and animal identification, ecosystems, geology, weather, and environmental issues.
