Whitehorse Heli-Hiking Tour
4 days and 3 nights 

Enjoy the rustic elegance and amenities of our wilderness basecamp while enjoying daytime hikes on surrounding alpine summits. This trip includes a helicopter ride onto the summit of Mt. Ingram on the first day. The options of helicoptering out and/or heli-fishing are also easy to arrange. The hiking is moderate and suitable for families with children. Lunches are carried in our packs and enjoyed on the mountain, while delicious dinners are prepared in the main yurt on the wood cookstove by your guides. We have a beautiful sauna with a gravity fed shower at the yurts as well as a fire pit for evening relaxation. The mountains of the Ibex Valley are as accessible as they are stunning. The list of possible hikes is as limitless as your imagination. A herd of Dall sheep live in a gully just above the camp and we often see the young sheep playing as we hike from ridgetop to ridgetop.The basecamp is located right on the crystal clear Ibex river. Fly and spin fishing gear is available for those who want to try their hand at landing an Arctic Char for that dinner’s appetizer!
