Later we drive to the Yukon Wildlife Preserve where we can see up close inhabitant game like the Elk, Moose, Caribou, Mountain Goats and Porcupines in their natural surrounding.

We’ll feel the power and durance of the dogs, listen to their breaths and feel the creaking snow under the runners. A very unique experience! Back from the dog sledding trip we’ll go on a Horse Sled Ride and if you can’t get enough of the Yukon winter you can try out some snowshoeing. If you ‘made it through the day’ you’ll be rewarded with a beer from the local brewery. Overnight in the High Country Inn in Whitehorse (incl. Jacuzzi).Day 5: Wednesday, Whitehorse Departure
