Chilkoot Trail’s boreal beauty

"Remember that time on the Chilkoot when..."

June 22nd 2011

The fabled trail littered with historical gold awaits you in Yukon. 

Let our guides take you through a panoply of spectacular and rugged terrain. Over 100 years ago, the Chilkoot Trail was the passage of choice for hopefuls during the Klondike Gold Rush. Tens of thousands of prospectors set out with their life’s belongings , evidence of which still lies protected along the trail, in the hopes of striking it rich.

This National Historic Site spans 53 km from Alaska to British Columbia, taking you through alpine tundra, onto a high boreal ridge and into the sub alpine boreal forest. From Skagway, Alaska to Bennett, B.C., this is a truly Canadian experience for the whole family.

Take a (sustainable) break in Yukon

June 10th 2011

We all need to take a break from the busyness of life and make it our business to have a little fun. But, we’re all increasingly informed and conscious of the impact our treks have on the planet. Make it your business to choose ethical travel!

At Langford & Company, we don’t like to brag about our earth-friendly trips because, well, it should just be the norm, don’t you think? But we think it’s important to mention this about our adventures, just in case you were wondering if we’re keeping our word.

Tread lightly in the Yukon on our Wind River and Big Salmon River Canoe Expeditions. The road-accessible put-in and take-out points along the Big Salmon eliminate the need for a float plane, reducing the cost of the trip. This is ideal for the beginner or intermediate paddlers looking for a medium length wilderness canoe trip. Kick up your feet and enjoy the protected northern view.
