the Yukon and the surroundings to
give you a first impression of this
wonderful country: During the city
tour you'll see the old train station of
the White Pass & Yukon Route railroad,
the Log Skyscraper, old Log
Church and the paddle wheeler SS
Klondike. We'll also show you some
residential areas and we'll stop at the
Visitors Reception Centre. On the
way to the Takhini Hot Springs we'll
stop at the Wildlife Preserve where
you'll see most of the wildlife seen in
the Yukon, such as Moose, Caribou,
buffalo, Dall Sheep, Big Horn Sheep,
Musk Oxen and others. Time for a

Takhini Hot Springs. After our return
to Whitehorse, you will participate in

views over Lake Labarge and Marsh

our instructions about snowmobile
safety and any further instructions we'll need and off we are across the
lake and into some of the most
beautiful mountains you may imagine!

activity. We'll drive west on the world
famous Alaska Highway and will
reach Haines Junction in about two
hours. Just outside the town we'll
start our trek on the beautiful Auriol
Trail. Since we'll be slower on our
snowshoes we'll head out at leisure,
have a break amidst a gorgeous
winter wonderland and return to our
van. In Haines Junction we'll break
for coffee and a visit to the Kluane
National Park Visitor Centre before
heading back to Whitehorse. First
night aurora viewing: 21.30 pm. A

mushing and safety on the trail.
Then we'll be assigned our team of
from 4 to 6 dogs and off we go! We'll
follow well prepared trails and our
guides will make sure that we are
always in control of our teams. Lunch
will be served along the trail when both, we and the dogs need a well
deserved break. By late afternoon
