Itinerary

DAY 1 : ARRIVAL IN WHITEHORSE

Upon arrival in Whitehorse, you take the free shuttle to get to your hotel (right there when you exit the terminal). Note that we always try and book hotels which offers the free shuttle but in case there is no more availability, there are always taxis available to drive you downtown (count approximately $25 for a ride from the airport to your hotel). Depending on your arrival time, you will have time to explore Whitehorse and take a stroll on the Millennium Trail or check out the MacBride Museum.

A pre-trip meeting takes place in the lobby of your hotel at 5pm today with your guides. This is the perfect opportunity to ask any last-minute questions about your hiking trip, do a gear check and meet your fellow adventurers!

DAY 2 : HELICOPTER FLIGHT AND FIRST CAMP

This morning we drive to the airport and fly out, with a helicopter, into the wilderness.

The flight lasts approximately 20 minutes and offers spectacular views over Whitehorse area and the mountains to the south-west of the city you will not soon forget.

Once the helicopter has left and silence is back, we set up our first camp and enjoy our first hike together in the Coast Mountains.

Lunch and Dinner.

DAYS 3-6 : TREK AND EXPLORATION

On day 3 we go on a day hike around our camp. We walk in the beautiful alpine where we try to spot local wildlife such as grizzly bears, moose, Dall sheep, caribou, etc. The highlight of the day will be the stunning views we will get from Rosette peak.

On day 4, we pack all our gear and leave nothing behind as we hike over to another camp. It is a rather short hike over the alpine and down to a lake where we set our second camp.

From there we explore the mountains for the next 2 days, on day hikes. Once again enjoying endless views over alpine meadows, high snowy peaks in the background and the beautiful Primrose lake from where we will take off on our last day.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

DAY 7 : RETURN TO WHITEHORSE BY FLOATPLANE

For our last day in the mountain wilderness, we hike, fully loaded, down to Primrose Lake where a float plane is waiting for us. Most of the day is downhill, and the views on the lake and the mountains around it are gorgeous.

Once again we fly for 20 to 30 minutes over the mountains and land near Whitehorse, on Schwatka Lake. We drop you off at your hotel for a well-deserved shower!
