Experience the best of Alaska and the Yukon Territory with canoeing, biking and live music on a 9 day tour with the option to extend to 11 days including a music festival. Dawson City, once known as the “Paris of the North,” is your start and end point for a unique combination of a river trip and bike tour. You will take to your canoe on the historic Yukon River for a four day paddle from Dawson to the town of Eagle, Alaska. The current moves you along at a good clip, though there is no whitewater. Experience the beautiful solitude along the hundred-mile river journey as you camp on the shoreline and visit relics of the area’s gold rush past.
