Self-Drive: The Highlights of Yukon and Alaska
15 days from £2800 per person
Route: Whitehorse – Mayo – Dawson City – Tok – Kluane National Park – Haines – Skagway – Whitehorse
Plough through the remotest parts of Yukon, the most North-western reaches of Canada, and dip into the main flavours of Alaska as you awaken your inner explorer by venturing off the beaten track and into the spectacular and unspoilt scenery of these untouched areas. With easy to drive and easy to follow roads, this itinerary is ideal for first time visitors to the area, as much as true pioneers looking to delve into the wilderness and switch off from day to day normalities. Take in amazing views of rugged peaks, shimmering emerald lakes and evergreen forests as you follow in the footsteps of the First Nations and those who once chased gold rush dreams. You’ll drive along beautiful highways, visit iconic gold rush towns, spend nights in rustic accommodation and have the opportunity to take part in a variety of activities that range from wildlife spotting, trailblazing or taking flight over glacier peaks. Due to the unpredictable winter weather, we advise embarking on this journey between the months of May and October.
ITINERARY HIGHLIGHTS
Mayo is a peaceful retreat that makes you feel instantly warm and welcome; head out to explore a handful of the hundreds of surrounding lakes that are perfect for swimming and boating.
In Dawson City, the former gold-rush town, enjoy uncovering the feats many people endured whilst chasing their golden dreams and pan for gold yourself at the nearby Klondike Gold Fields.
Superb for thrill seekers, swap your hire car for a plane and soar high above the mighty panorama of rock, ice and snow in Kluane National Park.
