Fun day tour south of Whitehorse - Yuya was a terrific guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about animals, plants and history. We visited Miles Canyon, Emerald Lake, Carcross desert, Carcross town and Caribou Crossing Trading Post where the highlights were petting Spirit the Black horse and watching the malamute puppies. He gave us suggestions for hiking in the area and was flexible with timing at the different stops if we wanted to stay longer at one and less at another.

Really recommend! - Yuya is an excellent tour guide and this is a great tour if you're in Whitehorse without a car (comfortable, informative, hits lots of stops, and Yuya is happy to slightly adjust the tour to pack in as much as possible). We even saw a bear and her cubs by the road (a lucky day!)
