Carcross & Southern Lakes | Day Trip from Whitehorse
Carcross & Southern Lakes | Day Trip from Whitehorse
A guided day trip from Whitehorse to historic Carcross, Emerald Lake, the Carcross Desert, Bennett Lake and Tagish Lake, in a small group, in English or French.
Head south from Whitehorse on the Klondike Gold Rush trail, to some of the Yukon's most iconic landscapes.
Stop at Emerald Lake, one of the Yukon's most famous lakes, known for its green summer waters and transformed in winter into a frozen, snow-framed landscape. Then walk the Carcross Desert, often called the world's smallest desert, where sand dunes meet snow.
In Carcross, once called Caribou Crossing, discover the home of the Carcross/Tagish First Nation. At Bennett Lake, stand where stampeders built their boats in 1898 to race north to Dawson City. Then follow the frozen shores of Tagish Lake.
Lakes, dunes, history and plenty of photo stops, all in one day, in a small group, guided in English or French.
