Snake River Trip
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.

“An 11-day rafting adventured with Tatshenshini Expediting is Fantastic”
My wife and I and some friends experienced an awesome wilderness adventure through the skilled guiding service provided by Tatshenshini Expediting out of Whitehorse. The superlatives apply to first the scenery but also to the adventure in a pristine environment of unequaled beauty, the food, the people, the entire absorbing experience.
