​13 DAYS PACKHORSE EXPEDITION IN THE YUKON WILDERNESS
This expedition to Yukon, last Canadian border before Alaska, is a true experience of wilderness beauty: glacier valleys, pristine rivers and lakes, alpine meadows, forest and tundra. In June, the midnight sun shines over the boreal forest, while later in the summer, the fall colors change the landscape to these multicolors paintings. In this pure nature, you follow the paths of wild animals like moose, caribou and wolves, in the footsteps of the last trappers. Out of time and civilisation we live to the rythme of the horses and the nature, share stories and meal around campfire and our everyday life challenge. Our goal is an total immersion Yukon culture and life on the trail. This 13 days horse pack trip is an adventure of a lifetime for intrepid riders.
