Travel Itinerary:

Day 01 Whitehorse - Coghlan Lake Lodge
Pick-up at your hotel and transfer by shuttle van and snowmobile to our base camp. Once at the cabin, guide and participants will share the tasks of cooking, heating the cabin and enjoy a hot, home cooked meal together. Tonight, we will talk about the
Aurora Borealis and learn what creates this amazing phenomenon. And with a little bit of luck, the Aurora will dance in the sky for us.

Day 02 Coghlan Lake Lodge
Easy morning exploring area around lake. For lunch, we will stop and learn how to build a fire in the snow to enjoy some hot soup and hot drinks. After a day outside, we share the task of cooking tonight’s meal while learning animal tracks in the snow
and how to identify them.

Days 3 Coghlan Lake Lodge
Participants can sleep in and take it easy in the morning. In the afternoon, we will go on a cross country ski tour, identify the tracks we learned about the night before and enjoy the scenery at a slower pace. After supper, we will get the sauna going and
spend the evening sharing slides of the Yukon and learning about travelling through its wonderful backcountry.

Days 4 Coghlan Lake Lodge
The group will hit the snow on skis again. We will do a loop exploring the wider area of the lodge, especially following a trail on Coghlan Lake. Tonight, if people are interested, we will learn about wildlife in the Yukon and how to travel in a land where humans are outnumbered by big animals.

Day 5 Coghlan Lake Lodge – trailside cabin
Optional day of snowshoeing, skiing or we can take a trip by snowmobile to the next lake back in the chain.

Day 6 Coghlan Lake Lodge - Whitehorse
Today we ski back to the starting point of the tour. Once there, we will stop and enjoy a meal together at the local lodge before we go back to Whitehorse and the “civilized” world and a well deserved hot shower!
