Carcross is a town steeped in Yukon history, from the rich heritage of the First Nations people to the fascinating influence of the Klondike Gold Rush. From Carcross you will also get to admire the stunning colours of Emerald Lake and traverse the Carcross desert, otherwise known as the smallest desert in the world!

After visiting Carcross, you will continue on to the hiking portion of the tour where you will experience incredible panoramic views of the Yukon at every step! The Southern Lakes region is a truly special part of the Yukon. With soaring mountains, sparkling lakes, and lush forest stretching out indefinitely in every direction, it is a must see during your stay in the Yukon, and the best way to do so is by hiking! During your Southern Lakes hike, your guide will lead you up an established trail whilst talking to you about the unique environment and wildlife that surrounds you.
