Once you arrive in the area in your own vehicle, look for signs along the Klondike Highway to Minto Landing and that will direct you to the Yukon River. The Tutchone Tours guide will meet you at the river with their boat and then guide you to Fort Selkirk further downstream.

Upon arrival at the Fort, your guides will set up camp and you will enjoy a hearty snack and beverage before heading out on a tour of the town.  Following your tour, you can relax and enjoy stories of past life at Fort Selkirk, while dinner is prepared for you.   After dinner, trek with your guides on the ancient trails that lead you to somewhere historic.

Finish the evening with campfire s'mores and a hot beverage, while getting to know your fellow campers.

Following a hearty breakfast, you will enjoy a scenic boat ride to Victoria Rock and further down the river for more exploring.  Keep your eyes open for wildlife!
