Canoeing the mighty Yukon River: From its confluence with the Big Salmon to Dawson

Canoeing the Yukon River from its confluence with the Big Salmon River. 10 days of wilderness canoe travel Dawson City. In part 1 we paddled from Quiet Lake to the confluence in 7 days.

NOTE: the print at 24.48 is a wolf print NOT bear. I dragged in the wrong image. Thanks to a couple of viewers who, very gently, pointed this out to me.

Many thanks to Karts Huseonica for getting the photos of the shop at Carmacks and of the Campground facilities.

I took both a biography and the poems of Robert Service on my trip. A real flavour of the Yukon.
