Paralleling the border of the Yukon and Northwest Territories and close to the Arctic Circle, the Snake River in Canada is one of the most remote northern rivers that offers superb mountain hiking and whitewater rafting and canoeing.
Using a combination of floatplane and helicopter to shuttle rafts and participants to the Snake River on this world-class rafting adventure, you will enjoy a stunning wilderness river that was formally the exclusive domain of advanced whitewater canoeists.
Flowing through the spectacular Bonnet Plume Range of the northern Yukon, the Snake River has become renowned for remote beauty, hiking and whitewater canoeing. Dall Sheep, caribou, grizzly, wolf and moose are all possibilities for excellent wildlife viewing with panoramic vistas guaranteed. Traveling from the alpine Duo Lakes to the confluence with the Peel River, the level of skill required on a Snake River rafting trip is a notch above the Nahanni National Park expedition.
Paddle in rafts or two-person canoes over 12 river days along this Arctic mountain river from Duo Lakes to the confluence of the Snake River with the Peel River, a distance of 300 km (180 miles) with an elevation drop of 800 m (2400 ft).
