Your 7-Day Adventure Map

  • Your guide will greet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel in downtown Whitehorse. The rest of the day is at your leisure.

  • We will travel to the town of Skagway in Alaska the start point for gold seekers during the Klondike. After visiting the historic town, we’ll travel 16km to Dyea, where we’ll start our hike on the Chilkoot Trail.

    We’ll cover a short distance to Finnegan’s point before making camp for the night (approx. 3 hours hiking time).

  • After breakfast, we’ll continue our adventure through the rainforest. This is a pleasant day with a few fairly steep but short climbs. We will overnight at Sheep Camp.

  • Today is our longest, but most memorable part of the hike. We’ll have an early breakfast and hit the trail in order to cover the 13km to Happy Camp. The trail goes as steep as forty degrees as you travel up the Golden Stairs. We will reach the top and cross the border between Alaska and Canada, at over 1100 meters (3700 feet) above sea level! From here we’ll descend to reach Happy Camp in the late afternoon.

  • Today we will trek from Happy Camp to Lindeman, thought by many to be the best part of the trail. There are some spectacular views and the trail is relatively flat.

  • Our last day of hiking. The end of the trail is near, but there is still some beautiful scenery to be enjoyed as we continue our trek, first to Bare Loon Lake and onwards to Lake Bennett. After a short look around, our floatplane will arrive to pick us up for the spectacular 45-minute flight to Whitehorse where we will enjoy our last night.

  • Return to Whitehorse to conclude your unforgettable journey or choose to extend your stay and continue exploring the vast beauty of the Yukon.
