You'll travel from Whitehorse, which is set along the Chu Nínkwän (Yukon) River, northwest to Dawson City by Air North. You'll get a good sense of the vast and rugged Yukon landscape. Flights are offered daily and take just over an hour.

Day 1:

Your guide will meet you at the Dawson City Airport and take you to your hotel in the town centre.

Visit the engaging Dänojà Zho Cultural Centre for an amazing introduction into the culture, heritage and language of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in.

You'll learn that the origin of the word Klondike comes from the word Tr'ondëk (Tr'o refers to a special hammer rock and Ndëk is a waterway), you'll see artifacts from the Nation's culture and heritage, and you'll have a chance to connect with members of the community who work as guides in the centre.

Day 2:

Today you'll explore the epic Dempster Highway and soar over spectacular mountains.

Dempster Highway

The Dempster Highway is a 740 km roadway that links Dawson City in the Yukon to Inuvik in the Northwest Territories. It is the only all-season road (hard-packed gravel) in the world that crosses the Arctic Circle. It passes by two mountain ranges, the Ogilvie and the Richardson, and it crosses the continental divide three times.

Today, you'll travel on the famous highway toward Tombstone Territorial Park.

Tombstone Territorial Park

Ddhäl Ch'èl Cha Nän, the Hän name for Tombstone Territorial Park, means jagged mountain land and that's exactly what you'll see when you arrive. The park's 2,200 square kilometres of spiky peaks and permafrost landforms is on the land (and within the protection) of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in.

You'll stop along the way for a scenic picnic lunch. Be on the lookout for wildlife, such as Dall's sheep, caribou, moose, wolves and bears.

Cessna Flight

Take off from the Dempster Highway for a spectacular one-hour flight over the Ogilvie Mountains. Soaring over the peaks in a Cessna is an unforgettable experience.

Evening in Dawson City

Wind down with another unique Dawson experience: a Sourtoe Cocktail at the Downtown Hotel's Sourdough Saloon. Do you dare to try it?

Day 3:

Learn about the culture and heritage of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in during a private experience with a local artist or a foraging walk and plant talk with a local medicine maker.

Learn about the land, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and gain an understanding of how the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in are actively working to reclaim their traditional cultural ways that were threatened by the Gold Rush.

Lunch at Red Mammoth Bistro

Enjoy a casual lunch and a hot drink at the Red Mammoth Bistro to fuel up for the rest of the day.
