Introduction: Welcome to the Canadian Northwest! This 3 week camping tour between Calgary and Whitehorse will travel stretches of wilderness where the chances to meet wild animals are better than finding people! Starting with picture-postcard hiking in Banff and Jasper National Parks we make our way northwards through British Columbia to the Yukon. We visit a native Indian village, Ksan, and learn of their legends and totem poles. Then onto Stewart and Bear Glacier and Salmon Glacier. The scenery is simply spectacular, and no more so than along the primitive Cassiar and Dempster Highways which are hardly touched by tourism. Learn about the greatest Gold Rush ever at Dawson City and hike in the out-of-this-world Tombstone Mountains. The icing on the cake is reaching the most northern point of the tour; the Arctic Circle, where tundra stretches for thousands of miles in every direction across the vast wilderness. This is the great outdoors at its finest. If you are looking for a wild, rugged country experience where the emphasis is on "getting-away-from-it-all" then look no further than the Canadian Northwest, a truly magical part of the planet.
