Whitehorse is not only the entry point for the Yukon, but also an adventure travellers paradise. Paddlers take to the historic gold rush Yukon River that flows through town, hikers and mountain bikers have access to expansive trail routes and others take to the sky in float planes from Schwatka Lake heading to wild, secluded places. Autumn in the Yukon offers a flourish of colours, see the vibrant oranges, red's and yellows against expansive mountain scenery like no other.

Day 2:

Grab a hearty Canadian breakfast from one of the many cafes of the town before joining your local guide for a canoeing adventure on the mighty Yukon river. On this tour you will canoe down the historic gold rush Yukon River, enjoying the peaceful scenery, learning about the gold rush pioneers that passed through and spot wildlife whilst calmly paddling the calm waters. Your guide will lead you on a paddle from Whitehorse to the confluence of the Takhini River. Canoeing is a classically Canadian pastime and this trip is ideal for beginner paddlers who wish to enjoy this historic northern river.
