Your Invitation to Adventure
Up here, there are no limits. Go as far and as hard as you choose.
And while you're at it, reconnect with the great outdoors in northern Canada's spectacular Yukon.
The North is a haven for adrenaline junkies and their ‘life on the edge' wilderness pursuits. Tame a wild river by kayak or canoe through spectacular canyons; manoeuvre difficult trails through vast untouched wilderness, or lead a team of huskies on an endurance race that will push you to the max. Heart-pounding adventure is around every corner in the Yukon. Throw yourself at mother nature and get your thrills while you take in some of the most breathtaking views in the world. From lush tundra valleys to Canada's highest peak, from rich cultures and history to year-round, world-class outdoor adventures - Yukon is one adventure you'll rave about for years.
If you've got the drive to go beyond your own limits, we've got the place to do it.
The Adventure Menu
A Paddler's Paradise
Bag one (or several!) of the planet's most coveted river journeys on one of our wild Yukon rivers. With four Canadian Heritage Rivers and dozens of must-run river routes, Yukon offers a smorgasbord of paddling options by canoe, kayak or raft. Rivers such as the Pelly, Tatshenshini, Snake, Wind and Bonnet Plume will test your mettle as well as take you through some of the most untouched wilderness on earth. If slow is more your speed, try a leisurely paddle on the mighty Yukon River, or any of our thousands of glass-clear lakes.

Hit the Trail
In this corner of Canada where mountain ranges meet tundra and vast river valleys spread out through untouched boreal forest as far as the eye can see, jaw-dropping landscapes and wildlife provide the backdrop to hiking trails as tame or as wild as you choose. From day hikes within easy reach of a decent cappuccino, to multi-day rugged back-country trails that will challenge even the most experienced, we've got you covered.

Adventures on Two Wheels
It's just you, your mountain bike and a panoramic view of river valleys, mountains and sky. You've found a stretch of single-track that is more technical than you'd expected, and the route is challenging. You're stoked and you can't wait until tomorrow to do it all again. And the best part? You're five minutes from town. We weren't named the ‘new mecca of mountain biking' by Mountain Biking UK magazine for nothing!
Maybe you want more time to look at that panoramic view, rather than snatching quick glances as you negotiate the rocks and roots under your tyres? Road cycling is huge in the Yukon. Our safe, well-maintained highways and campgrounds are popular among all bike travellers, from beginners to experts.
Whatever kind of bike you like to pedal, Yukon means open roads, challenging trails and brimming vistas. Guaranteed.

Winter Thrills
It's 20 below but you're soaked with sweat. You can feel every muscle. And you thought it was the dogs that did all the work? Mushing your own team of dogs isn't for the faint-hearted. Think Rover on steroids. Times eight. If you've got what it takes and you really want to test your outer limits, then a Yukon winter adventure might be your ultimate challenge.
Try swapping canine power for horsepower with a snowmobile trek through the winter wilderness; match wits with northern species on an ice-fishing trip; or go the distance on a cross-country ski adventure. And at the end of the day, curl up in a warm cabin or lodge and watch the northern lights dance across the sky.
