Remote Expeditions
- Special Tour on the South Canol
|
| |
 |
Advanced Mushing, Level III |
|
| March & April On this remote tour,
you will travel along a section of the South Canol Highway,
a remote road kept open for summer use. The South Canol runs
from the Alaska Highway at Johnson’s Crossing, near
Teslin, to Ross River. This highway was originally carved
through the Yukon wilderness in WWII, along with the North
Canol, to connect the oil wells at Norman Wells to Whitehorse,
in order to supply oil to the United States. The South Canol
is now maintained only in summer, so it makes an excellent
winter trail.
You will start your journey at Johnson’s Crossing,
and travel up towards the Lapie Lakes and Quiet Lake, travelling
through splendid scenery. You will travel through the scenic
river valleys of the Nisutlin, Rose and Lapie Rivers, with
gorgeous mountain views along the way. At night, your guide
will set up a comfortable campsite for you. |
