Itinerary for Grizzly Mountain Pack Trip




Sample Itinerary - subject to changes

Day 1: Introduction Ride
A hearty breakfast before orientation, and safety briefing with your horse that will be your companion for the trip. Then load up and drive a short distance to the trailhead, pack up horses and head up the mountain trail starting your wilderness journey. As we ride up a beautiful mountain ridge, you can look behind you and see Lake Laberge below, where the Klondikers travelled to and from the goldrush town of Dawson City. As we reach the high alpine, we will settle for a lunch break overlooking spectacular views. Back on our horses, we will trek through the next mountain valley to our scenic camp for the night.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight Camping


Day 2: Wilderness Ride  
Up to see the Yukon sun (hopefully!) and coffee/tea around the fire. After a healthy breakfast, saddle your horse and follow the pack train through the mountain valley, over Flat Creek Pas. Hopefully, we will see the local moose that are often around, as well as mountain sheep and maybe a grizzly bear. We make camp below a mountain with many sheep trails.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight Camping


Day 3: Rest Day
A day to sleep in and rest up. An opportunity to hike up the sheep trails and spot for Dall sheep and grizzly bears.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight Camping


Day 4: Pilot Mountain Ride
Pack up camp after breakfast and follow the pack train beside Pilot Mountain. We hope to see the Dall sheep that frequent the area. Moose and grizzly bears are often seen as well. Settle in to a cozy camp by Pilot Mountain.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Overnight Camping


Day 5: Ride Back
Up at a decent time, enjoy a hearty breakfast and get ready for an adventurous day. We travel through beautiful country that will eventually meet up with where we had lunch on the first day.
After we enjoy the high country for the last time, we descend back down the mountain, back to the trailhead.
You are welcome to stay the night in our Klondike cabin (extra cost), which can include an evening meal. If you stay, we will drive you back to Whitehorse the next morning. If you wish to go to Whitehorse the night you get in from the trip, we will take you there.
Meals included: Breakfast & Lunch
