Yukon Territory Water Adventures

For those who love kayaking and rafting, there’s no better place than the 70 wild mountain rivers that the Yukon is known for. Whitewater kayakers are often unable to decide which river they love best, especially when the Yukon's solitude is so complete that they can often have a several-day adventure without seeing another soul on the water. The Tutshi and Tatshenshini Rivers give both kayakers and rafters a run for their money, and most aficionados will be itching to try the Class IV challenges on the Alsek.

Peaceful
If you prefer peaceful basking in the sun to being tossed about by rough water, look into the gorgeous Firth River for a stunning journey into the arctic tundra. Take a canoe out on one of the four Canadian Heritage rivers in the Yukon for a lazy, remote journey that lets the stress of the outside world drop away. See the phenomenal grandeur of calving glaciers or lose yourself in the quiet of nature as you fling a fly-fishing rod out over the water with your hat tipped over your eyes.

Be careful, though; as you become one with the wilderness, you might catch yourself quoting Thoreau: “In wilderness is the preservation of the world.” Or, at the very least, the preservation of your adventurous spirit.
