The Snake River is a true Yukon classic river nestled amongst the alpine valleys of the Peel watershed. Starting in the alpine of Duo Lakes this river winds its way through open mountain scenery, intimate canyons, and braided channels before entering the Peel River. The Snake offers unlimited possibilities for hiking in its upper sections with opportunities to see wildlife such as moose, sheep, bear, and more.
