- Day 1 Arrival In Whitehorse Arrive in Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory. The Jonview Roadbook you received will have all the information needed for your holiday/trip/journey. This northern city offers all the modern conveniences and amenities, as well as the historical and cultural remnants of the days of the Gold Rush. Overnight in Whitehorse.
- Day 2 Whitehorse To Watson Lake Departing eastward along the Alaska Highway into the interior of the Yukon, pass through small towns and villages that have carved unique communities out of a rugged wilderness. Arriving in Watson Lake, take some time to visit the 'signpost forest' - a collection of over 10,000 signposts donated by visitors from around the world, or the World War II historical display at the airport. Overnight in Watson Lake.
- Day 3 Watson Lake To Carmacks Turning northward on to the Campbell Highway, follow the path of several rivers and long lakes, many only previously seen by the most avid outdoorsman. If time permits, stop in Faro to visit the Campbell Region Interpretative Centre and learn about the history and geography of the surrounding area. Arrive in Carmacks later in the day for an evening at leisure. Overnight in Carmacks.
- Day 4 Carmacks To Dawson City Journeying farther northward, you embark on a day of discovery travelling through the wilderness of the Yukon heartland, home to large mammals such as moose, caribou and grizzly bears. Later in the day, arrive in the famous former prospector town of Dawson City. Perhaps visit one of the local eateries, serving up everything from hardy frontier fare, to tastes of the Far East. Overnight in Dawson City.
- Day 5 Dawson City To Eagle Plains Today you embark on a true Yukon journey. Striking out into the province's heart, the stark flatlands are intersected by the Dempster Highway and Mount Richardson in the background creating a haunting beauty that is unique from southern regions. Today is an excellent opportunity for a visit to Tombstone Territorial Park. Once inhabited by Ice Age giants like mammoths and scimitar cats, today it's still home to numerous northern species like grizzly, caribou and wolves. Overnight in Eagle Plains
- Day 6 Eagle Plains To Inuvik Following the general path of the Mackenzie River, Canada's longest waterway, continue north to edge of the Arctic Circle! The town of Inuvik rests in the watershed of the river as it empties out into the Arctic ocean, creating a unique landscape that defines the culture and art of the Inuit people. Overnight in Inuvik.
- Day 7 Inuvik One of Canada's oldest nations, the Inuit people have survived in this harsh climate for thousands of years. Experience the unique food, crafts, artistic expressions and skills that have enabled them to prosper in this far northern community. Overnight in Inuvik.
- Day 8 Inuvik To Eagle Plains The road back to Eagle Plains is no less stunning on your return. Perhaps stop at Fort McPherson and see the historic churches that serviced the early traders and pioneers of the Hudson's Bay Company. In these early days, the special pelts and animal products of the region were highly prized in Europe, making such northern outposts profitable ventures. Overnight in Eagle Plains.
- Day 9 Eagle Plains To Dawson City Today on the road back south, perhaps take some time to drop in at the Tombstone Territorial Park Visitor centre and learn about the park's unique history while sampling some delicious local tea. If time permits in Dawson, the Bonanza Creek with Discovery Claim and Dredge 4 National Historic Site provides an in-depth look into the industry that made the town famous. The Midnight Dome offers dramatic views of the town at the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike Rivers. Overnight in Dawson City.
- Day 10 Dawson City To Tok Beginning with a short crossing of the Yukon River by ferry, today your journey takes you along a picturesque route following the Top of the World Highway and the Taylor Highway as it traverses the wilds of Yukon over the international border to Alaska, USA. The small crossroads town of Chicken provides the ideal midway point to stop and experience a slice of local life. Continue on as you go west arrive in the small town of Tok for the evening. Overnight in Tok
- Day 11 Tok To Haines Junction Today's shorter driving distance back on the Alaska Highway allows time to independently explore natural wonders such as the shores of Lake Kluane, or the snow-capped mountains and glaciers of the St. Elias Mountains of spectacular Kluane National Park. Well-marked hiking trails and scenic viewpoints showcase some of the unique landscape of these protected parklands. Arrive later in Haines Junction and perhaps take some time to explore the First Nations Daku Cultural Centre, a highlight of this frontier town. Overnight in Haines Junction.
- Day 12 Haines Junction A day free at leisure is a good opportunity to explore the village. Perhaps pay a visit to the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations' Da Ku Cultural Centre, an interactive living museum that celebrates the history, culture and art of the Indigenous people of the area. Afterwards, perhaps drop by the St. Elias Convention Centre to see the permanent and rotating collection of art, reflecting the modern interpretations of local and recent artists. Overnight in Haines Junction.
- Day 13 Haines Junction To Whitehorse Departing for Whitehorse, stop midway at the village of Champagne where ancient local culture comes to life on your Long Ago People's Place First Nations Guided Tour. Visit the traditional living structures of a First Nations Village and be amazed by demonstrations of hunting practises and food preparation that were practised for centuries by the original inhabitants of the area. Tour includes tea and traditional bannock break. Overnight in Whitehorse.
- Day 14 Whitehorse The day is free to independently discover why Whitehorse has cultivated a name as the Yukon's hub of local guided and independent sightseeing and local touring activities. We suggest taking a daytrip to remote Skagway, or to visit some of the local sites such as the SS Klondike, Beringia Centre, the Transportation Museum or the MacBride Museum. Overnight in Whitehorse.
- Day 15 End Of Tour Today your Yukon experience comes to an end as you check out of your hotel and proceed independently to the airport.
