Overview

This half day excursion is packed with some of the best sights in the Yukon! We start by making a stop at a viewpoint over Miles Canyon, a crux of the stampeders journey from Alaska to the Klondike. From there we head down the South Klondike Highway to Emerald Lake, then onto the Carcross Desert, the smallest desert in the world. After a quick orientation around Carcross you will have some free time to explore the artisan stores, or walk the beach on Bennett Lake. On the way back to Whitehorse we make a stop and Caribou Crossing for you to try your hand at gold panning, and you can keep anything you find! Oh, and they also have puppies. Little fluffy husky puppies that love to be petted! This day trip really packs in the best of the Yukon, you won't be disappointed!

Unbelievable Panorama!

Published on Sep, 2024

James Major with Epic North is very knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and solicitous (I needed that as a senior!).Quick to lend an arm when I looked unsteady. Spent a week with James as our tour guide and he deserves a perfect rating! My husband, DavidO, also agrees with me and added more detail. He posted his review earlier!

Authentically Outstanding Yukon Tour with James Major from Epic North

Published on Sep, 2024

On reading Pierre Berton's "Klondike The Last Great Gold Rush" years ago, I was sold on the worth of visiting Yukon's Gold Rush sites. This September, 2024 I acted on it and toured with James Major from EPIC NORTH. Then before James' tour, during a week on our own in Whitehorse, two incidents discouraged me. Whitehorse's S.S. Keno river boat site was closed with neither pamphlets nor a museum saying so. Then the museum underplayed Berton's book. That changed with James Major's arrival. From widespread locations, day after day, James spoke heartily and in his own language from Berton's book. My favorite was in Miles Canyon on the Yukon River where James spoke of goldrush prospectors fording highly dangerous rapids. Every day James authentically offered a goldrush living history.

Gerne wieder

The "Yukon Gold Experience" trip was great. A very nice guide told us very interesting stories about the gold rush era. There were lovely stops to take photos and everything was very entertaining. I can only recommend it!

Gold mining, lakes and more

Published on Jun, 2024

This was a great experience. Guide was knowledgeable and it was a pleasure to talk with him. We stopped at each lakes along the road, experienced Carcasses, Carcross desert, gold mining and even sleigh dog ride.

Fun day tour south of Whitehorse

Published on Jul, 2022

Yuya was a terrific guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about animals, plants and history. We visited Miles Canyon, Emerald Lake, Carcross desert, Carcross town and Caribou Crossing Trading Post where the highlights were petting Spirit the Black horse and watching the malamute puppies. He gave us suggestions for hiking in the area and was flexible with timing at the different stops if we wanted to stay longer at one and less at another.
