The Yukon is one of the more under-rated paddling destinations in Western Canada. This territory has 20 + hours of daylight in the summer, you will need to to explore the many wilderness trips, whitewater runs and playspots on offer. Whitehorse is a great base to start from, be prepared to paddle in world class waterways in breathtaking scenery and being largely 'away from it all'. It is remote and big country up there, a fantastic place for an adventure!

Long Day Run (recommended overnight)
Homan River - A fun section that only takes a day to paddle that is mostly class III read & run with a class V canyon and class IV canyon (both easy to hike around). Logistics: Either fly in to Homen Lake (recommend Alpine Aviation in Whitehorse) or take the Whitepass train in and hike up (~12hrs of bush wacking). Either set a power boat shuttle or take the train back to Fraser or Carcross. Trip can be done in a day, but would recommend planning to camp at the top or bottom. Good camping close to the last class IV canyon (nicknamed Moose Knuckle), which is easy to knock off a couple of laps on.
