Join Us for a One-of-a-Kind Yukon Adventure!
Ready to experience the wild beauty of the Yukon like never before? Join us for an epic road trip through one of the most remote and pristine regions of Canada, where you’ll be immersed in the ultimate vanlife experience. Our expert guides will lead you deep into the heart of the wilderness, showing you hidden gems and stunning landscapes only accessible to those who dare to venture off the beaten path.
This isn’t just any road trip—we’ll be camping in secret, pristine spots away from the crowds, in a small, intimate group for a truly personal experience. You’ll sleep under the stars, surrounded by the beauty of the Yukon wilderness, far from the noise of civilization.
Over the course of 4 days, we’ll tackle 2 big hikes and 1 smaller hike, each one offering unforgettable views and the chance to truly connect with nature. From rugged peaks to serene alpine lakes, every step will be an adventure. At the end of each day, we’ll settle near Kluane Lake, where you can relax and enjoy the peaceful vibes of camp, maybe take a dip in the lake, or just enjoy the quiet of the surrounding mountains.
This is your chance to live the vanlife dream while exploring some of the most remote and breathtaking landscapes in Canada. With our fully-equipped Squatch Bus, we’ve got everything you need for comfort and adventure.

Fitness Level: What to Expect This trip is all about adventure and enjoying the wild beauty of the Yukon, so you don’t need to be an Olympic athlete to join in! While we’ll be doing day hikes and an intro to rock climbing, we recommend being in good basic shape to get the most out of each day. You don’t need to be a seasoned pro—just have the energy to enjoy the hikes, the stunning views, and a little rock scrambling. As long as you’re able to walk on uneven terrain, carry a small daypack, and have a positive attitude, you’ll be set to fully enjoy all the outdoor fun we’ve got planned. We’ll make sure everything is at a beginner-friendly pace, so you can focus on the adventure and not feel overwhelmed. Get ready to push your limits a little—but nothing crazy. The goal is to enjoy every step, climb, and breathtaking view along the way! |

We’ll pick you up at 8:30 AM in Whitehorse, where you’ll have a chance to grab any last-minute supplies before we hit the road. Once we're stocked up, we’ll make our way to Haines Junction, stopping at the visitor center for a quick info session about the area. After that, we’ll continue on to Kluane Lake, where we’ll set up camp right by the water. You can enjoy slacklining, try some packrafting, or just kick back and relax in this beautiful spot. In the evening, we’ll gather for dinner and talk about the exciting hikes and adventures coming up!

Day 2 to 4: Immersed in Nature’s Beauty
Each day begins with a satisfying breakfast to fuel up, followed by packing up camp as we head toward the trailhead. Over the next three days, we’ll immerse ourselves in the heart of the wilderness, choosing our hikes as a group each evening based on our energy, fitness levels, and the weather forecast. Your guide will ensure that the hikes are tailored to match the group’s pace and mood, balancing challenge with safety, so everyone feels empowered and engaged.
Some of the stunning hikes we may choose together include:
- King’s Throne
- Observation Mountain
- Mount Decoeli
- Sheep Mountain
Each evening, as a group, we’ll discuss which hike feels best based on our collective energy levels and weather conditions. Whether it’s tackling a tough peak like Mount Decoeli or taking a more relaxed route up Observation Mountain, the goal is to create a journey that suits everyone’s pace, while still offering stunning views and a sense of accomplishment.
By the end of Day 4, you’ll have explored some of the most iconic landscapes in the region, strengthening both body and mind with every step, and forming unforgettable memories with your fellow adventurers.
Day 5: Wrapping Up the Adventure with Relaxation
Day 5: Wrapping Up the Adventure with Relaxation
On our final morning, we’ll take our time to enjoy the last moments of this incredible adventure. After packing up camp, we’ll gather by the serene lake for a peaceful sunrise. You can sip your coffee, take in the stillness, and perhaps even take a refreshing swim in the cool waters, soaking in one last beautiful moment in nature.
Once we’ve packed up and said our goodbyes to the wilderness, we’ll begin our journey back to Whitehorse. On the way, we’ll stop at Takhini Hot Springs to relax and rejuvenate after several days of hiking. The warm, soothing waters will be the perfect way to ease tired muscles and reflect on the incredible experiences we’ve shared.
We’ll arrive in Whitehorse by late afternoon. When we get there, just let us know where you'd like to be dropped off, and we’ll make sure to get you to your destination safely.
