This Yukon River canoe trip is the perfect choice for someone who wants to have an authentic Yukon RIver trip, but desires the flexibility to adapt the physical demand of each day to their personal energy level. With the support of "The Yukon Rose", your custom support vessel, you can choose to paddle as much or as little as you wish each day, and get to enjoy a higher level of comfort, once you reach your wilderness camp. This 5-day wilderness voyage takes participants on a trip through time and wilderness. The Yukon River embodies the history of the Yukon. It served as the main transportation corridor of the Yukon and Alaska for both First Nations and early gold-seekers. 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 to the sternwheeler riverboat era. Many artifacts remain along the riverbanks for canoeists to experience first-hand.
