Northern Rockies – Whitehorse – Fort St. John

Today we have an action-packed schedule for you! After breakfast, your guide will pick you up and we will drive to Mount Sima, the starting point of our snowmobile adventure. From our base, we will use some of the most beautiful trails Whitehorse has to offer to show you incredible sights all along the way. Once at half point, we will have a warm lunch with hot beverages before heading back to the capital. In the afternoon, we will be visiting the Yukon Wildlife Preserve where you’ll have to chance to see many of Yukon’s animal species in a natural environment. A nice meal in one of the city’s restaurant will be a nice way to finish the day. (Overnight hotel accommodation in Whitehorse)

Today, we are leaving Whitehorse and we start our journey East on the Alaska Highway. Built during the second world war to connect Alaska to the interior of Canada, the name is famous around the world for many different reasons. We will start early and have a few interesting stops along the way. The drive is an experience as you will be able to admire the quiet and vast Yukon’s landscapes and hopefully see some wildlife along the way. It is not uncommon to have a heard of bison blocking the road! We will be passing through the small communities of Marsh Lake, Teslin, Watson Lake and Liard River before reaching our destination for the next two days Muncho Lake. A warm meal will be waiting for us at the Northern Rockies Lodge where will stay for three nights. (Overnight accommodation at the Northern Rockies Lodge)

This morning, you will be astonished by the beauty of where you are. Muncho Lake Provincial Park was established in 1957 and the serenity and seclusion of this area is hard to describe with words. Some of the most outstanding views of natural beauty can be found in this isolated park. Today is our multi-activities day and you will have many options to choose from; a local winter hike or snowshoe on frozen Muncho Lake, a snowmobile tour, a morning ice skating session or a sightseeing flight to explore the area. We will be back at the lodge to enjoy some warm beverages or a cocktail before a goodnight of sleep in this very special place.  (Overnight accommodation at the Northern Rockies Lodge)

In the morning we will get back on the Alaska Highway toward Smith River Falls. We will enjoy a picnic lunch in front of the frozen falls while enjoying the comfort of a warm campfire. After lunch will be the perfect time for a soak on the world famous natural hot springs in this winter paradise. A warm dinner will be waiting for us at the lodge and we will then head back outside to enjoy a campfire and a walk outside to see the Northern Lights.  (Overnight accommodation at the Northern Rockies Lodge)

It’s time to say goodbye to our friends at Muncho Lake and head South on the Alaska Highway to reach our final destination, Fort St. John. We will be driving through incredible landscapes today as we travel through northern British Columbia. On the way we will see the remote communities of Toad River and Prophet River. Keep your eyes open around Pink Mountain because the area is absolutely divine. (Overnight hotel accommodation in Fort St. John)

Originally established in 1794 as a trading post, Fort St. John is the oldest European-established settlement in present-day British Columbia. There might be time for a quick visit before heading to the airport to catch your flight. Ruby Range will provide a transfer to the airport or to a connecting program.
