Day 1 – Travel Day

You depart Brisbane and travel to Vancouver to commence your adventure.

Day 2

Your journey will begin in Vancouver, voted one of the most ‘live-able’ cities in the world. We are only here for the night so it will be a mixture of enjoying some sights, local food, visiting cafes, shopping and picking up any last minute items for the Dog Sled expedition. That night we will have a group dinner.

Day 3, 4, 5, 6 – Sky High Wilderness Ranch

Our time at the Wilderness Ranch gives us the experience of
the authentic lifestyle of a Yukon Musher. The accommodation is traditional and we get to participate in the day to day care of the dogs and life at the ranch. The lodge is log style with cosy wood- red heating – no power or telephone/internet. During the rst couple of days you get to know each of your dogs personalities. Most days will see us cover 20-30km and include runs to Jacksons Lake, an abandoned mining road on McIntyre Mountain and the beautiful Bonneville Lakes. The scenery is breathtaking and rugged, the trails can be narrow with some challenging ups and downs and the coastal mountains are always in view to the South and West. For part of the trip you are above the tree line and in sync with the running rhythm of your team of dogs you will enjoy nature like you have never experienced it before. You will experience temperatures out on the trails ranging from a balmy -5C to -30C before returning to the wilderness ranch each night to sleep.

Day 7

Today we spend our nal day on a Snow Mobile adventure with lunch on the trail. An interpretive guide will take us to some amazing view points and speak about the area, watching for animal tracks with 2 persons per snow machine. We nish the evening immersed in the history of the Gold Rush era with a night at the Historical Gold Rush Inn.
