Canada Alberta, British Columbia & the Yukon
Explore the grandeur of this incredibly rich and diverse landscape, where wildlife abounds. Alberta and British Columbia are stunning with a mountainous terrain and glaciers, while the Yukon Territory is all that and more, with its tundra and boreal forests. It’s name, Yukon is from the native word, “Yuk-un-ah” which means “Great River” referring to the great Yukon River that flows across the territory, through Alaska, and into the Bering Sea.

Our focus is on the Western side of Canada as we journeyed to Alaska. We didn’t expect to find such remarkable landscapes and abundant wildlife. Truly an exceptional place to travel and enjoy. I will say that our conversations were limited though. All we could really say was, “Wow!”
