Description

At the scheduled time, we'll collect you from your hotel in Whitehorse to begin this tour of one of the most fascinating places in the Yukon region in the northeast of Canada.

Our first stop will be at Emerald Lake, known for its green colour. We will learn about this as we stroll along its banks, taking a short break for a snack and a drink.

Next, we'll visit the Carcross Desert, the smallest desert in the world, to explore its sand dunes. The unique geographical feature will be explained during this tour.

Adjacent to the desert is the Caribou Crossing Wildlife Museum, where we will see taxidermy animals and learn about Yukon's native wildlife, including a recreation of species like the woolly mammoth.

After the museum, the tour will continue in the town of Carcross, where we'll learn about the gold rush of the end of the 19th century and the start of the 20th century, featuring stories of adventurers who sought gold.

Finally, we will return to the hotels in Whitehorse, concluding the tour after 5.5 hours together.
