Yukon Gold Experience feat. Emerald Lake & Carcross
Descrizione
Questa escursione di mezza giornata è ricca di alcune delle migliori attrazioni dello Yukon! Iniziamo facendo una sosta in un belvedere sul Miles Canyon, un punto cruciale del viaggio degli fuggitivi dall'Alaska al Klondike. Da lì ci dirigiamo lungo la South Klondike Highway verso Emerald Lake, poi nel Carcross Desert, il deserto più piccolo del mondo. Dopo un rapido orientamento intorno a Carcross avrete un po 'di tempo libero per esplorare i negozi di artigianato, o passeggiare per la spiaggia sul lago Bennett. Sulla via del ritorno a Whitehorse facciamo una sosta e Caribou Crossing per farti provare la panatura dell'oro, e puoi tenere tutto quello che trovi! Oh, e hanno anche dei cuccioli. Piccoli soffici cuccioli di husky che amano essere accarezzati! Questa gita di un giorno racchiude davvero il meglio dello Yukon, non rimarrete delusi!

Unforgettable! The scenery was spectacular, the history was incredible, and our guide was the best! My husband and I agree that this was the best tour we've been on.

We'll also make sure your guide hears your kind words, they'll be absolutely thrilled to know they helped make your day so memorable. Thank you again for choosing Epic North, and we hope to welcome you back to the Yukon for another unforgettable adventure one day!
Juan was a fantastic guide snd driver. He stopped at multiple spots for taking photos. The whole experience was fantastic.
Good value. Guide was friendly, knowledgeable and allowed the trip to run at a good and comfortable pace. Some overlap with the Skagway tour where Carcross was used as a body-break/ coffee- break stop.
After watching years of Goldrush on Discovery we got to experience our own Goldrush thru Epic North with our amazing guide Juan we even met Michael Beets at a coffee shop Bonus.
Great variety of sights and things to see. Mills Channel, Emerald Lake, Carcross Desert, Carcross town, The Wilderness Centre which had the gold panning, museum and dog sled demo. Thoroughly enjoyable tour
This was a very nice trip. Becca was an excellent and knowedgeable guide, with interesting stories. The trip took us to the British Columbia border, along very nice lakes and included visits to Miles Canyon, Emerald Lake, Bennett Lake, Carcross and the Carcross desert. It ended with a gold panning experience which even netted me some gold flakes.
This is called a half day tour but it really filled most of the day. We had so much fun with our driver / tour guide Becca. She was so informative about all the stops we made. She was a great volunteer photographer for all of us. She could be a world wide guide!
Becka was lovely and adjusted the trip to our preferences. We really saw great parts of Yukon. She was on time and everything went according to schedule. I can really recommend this trip
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!
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.
