Yukon River

Keep in mind that these will be the only rapids on this tour, and with the help of your guide, they won’t be too tough to navigate. Admire how the bluffs stitched across the river only add to the calming hush blanketing the surroundings. Continue to make your way down the remote, off-the-beaten river channel before encountering Fort Selkirk, a long lost trading post that will have you feeling like a magical whirlpool has sent you back in time. Archaeological proof unveils that Fort Selkirk has been around for around 8,000 years. It now acts as a retreat spot for people of the Selkirk First Nation. Spend each night tenting out at wilderness campsites.
