Yukon Horseback Adventure

For the adventuresome visitor to Skagway, the Yukon Horseback Adventure is the ultimate horseback ride. There is no better way to enjoy the Yukon wilderness and experience the peace and tranquility of the majestic northern wilderness than by horseback riding along the winding trails and open ridges of the Yukon.

Pack your camera and don't forget extra film because your adventure includes a round-trip tour from Skagway through the White Pass Summit Area to the Emerald Lake Trail Camp in the Yukon, guided horseback ride over winding back country trails, and a break for refreshments with time to chat with your guide at the Emerald Lake Trail Camp cookhouse.

Traveling from Skagway to the Yukon, you will see the beautiful Skagway River Valley, White Pass Summit Area, Tormented Valley and the crystal clear watershed of the Yukon River. The Carcross Desert, the world's smallest desert, and the spectacular Caribbean colors of Emerald Lake just north of Carcross, Yukon Territory.

At the Emerald Lake Trail Camp you will meet your lead horseback guide, Joni MacKinnon. Born and raised in Whitehorse, Yukon, Joni graduated from Capilano College with a degree in Outdoor Recreation Management, and she has been a licensed hunting, fishing, horseback and wildlife photography tour guide for nearly 30 years.

After saddling up, ride over high country trails as Joni relates the hardships the "Cheechakos", or newcomers, had to face in the Yukon. Along the way scan the sides of Caribou Mountain, Gray Ridge and the Watson River Valley for sheep, moose, caribou, and bear.

Back at the Emerald Lake Trail Camp enjoy snacks and a beverage with your guides at the rustic "cookhouse". Return to Skagway with photos to keep, memories to hold and tales to tell of your spectacular Yukon horseback riding experience.
