Grizzly Mountains (5 days): Just a short drive north of Whitehorse lies Grizzly Valley. As you drive up from the valley, you'll have a beautiful view of Lake Laberge, and with a little luck, you may spot some local wildlife (moose, mountain sheep, bears...). This short pack trip is the perfect escape from everyday life for anyone who wants to get a taste of the Yukon wilderness.

Tatshenshini-Alsek (6 days) : Ride through Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park, where glaciers, blue rivers, and grizzly bears coexist in perfect harmony. This week-long journey through the Yukon wilderness allows you to discover remote parts of the Yukon that few people ever get to see. You'll camp on beautiful meadows, ride rugged mountains, and enjoy nature in its purest form!
(not in 2025)

Ogilvy Caribou Trail (12 days): You will experience the last frontier, untouched land with fresh streams and rivers, mountains of every shape and full of wildlife. However, this trip is not for everyone. You must have a love and longing for the real Yukon wilderness and experience in horseback riding, hiking, camping, and enduring all types of weather in mountainous terrain. Each day you will ride for about 5-6 hours (including a lunch break) and ride from camp to camp. There will also be camp days where you can relax in beautiful locations where you can sleep in, read, drink tea/coffee, and hike to a nearby mountain. You will travel on horses with all your equipment and food for the entire trip.

Back on your horses, ride through the next mountain valley to your idyllically located camp for the night.
