Camping TRIPS ON THE YUKON QUEST TRAIL
|
|
| Travel a section of the famous trail of the Yukon Quest
International Sled-dog Race, and get a sense of what Quest
mushers experience! You may just discover that magical
feeling that gets mushers "hooked" on the race.
|
|
| You'll see what it's like to be a "distance"
musher, driving your own dog-team, with one of our expert
guides. This tour usually involves 3 to 5 days on the
trail, but can be as long as 6 days out, and also can
be modified to suit individual needs. |
|
| For one variation, you travel along the new Yukon Quest
Trail, on the Takhini River, then the historic Dawson
Trail, an historic wagon trail route from Gold Rush days,
to Braeburn, an official checkpoint for the Quest. For
most of this trek, you run the same trail as Quest mushers
and camp out on the trail, just as racing mushers do.
|
|
 After
Braeburn, you leave the new trail and head to Coghlin
Lake, which used to be an unofficial stop on the old Quest
Trail. There you can stay in an old cabin or camp on the
trail, before heading up Lake Laberge and the Yukon River,
to the Takhini River, then back to Muktuk. Once home,
you can relax in the sauna, and share your tales from
the two famous trails over dinner. |
