Yukon backpacking students are true explorers, visiting isolated wilderness few people have ever seen.
30-DAY YUKON BACKPACKING
AND WILDERNESS CANOEING
Take full advantage of the remote, pristine Yukon wilderness and
travel abroad without leaving the continent. This course is perfect
for students wanting to develop two distinct skills, hiking and canoeing,
be out for a month without resupply, and be on less technical
rivers. With the diverse, captivating terrain, you'll be able to
focus on developing the skills to lead your peers in small groups.
This course will enable you to pack all of your supplies for a month
into a canoe. Your route offers true expedition river and lake travel
with weeklong backpacking loops that provide incredible views to
the rugged mountains and glaciers. You may even catch a glimpse
of bear or caribou. If you like to fish, you'll love the world-class fly
fishing up here. In fact, this course has great fishing of all types.
With the adventurous routes and a combination of skills, you'll
come home an excellent camper and leader with an unparalleled
appreciation for Canada's history and environment.
