Yukon Territory - Big Salmon/Yukon River
Short Trip Description      click to close this second window

In mid July of 1997, seven people in three canoes spent 12 days paddling the Big Salmon River into the Yukon River, taking out at Little Salmon, Yukon Territory, Canada. (future link to location map)
This is a repeat of a 1989 trip with some different participants. The youngest participant on this trip was a 19 month old baby girl, to indicate the trips ease. Luise's parents are very good, and very experienced paddlers, which helped in the tighter, complex river maneuvering found in places. They also paddled an 18'-6" strip cedar canoe loaned to them for the trip.
