canoebase.com: Wilderness Canoe Tripping Yukon Territory - North/Black/Liard River And Why This Particular Trip?We originally picked this North and Black River trip off of the brochure of a Canadian outfitter who is no longer in business. When talking about the trip with the guide in 1992, the run sounded nice (don't they all!?!), so it went onto the "check it out in a few years" list. It got chosen for '97 because we needed a medium length river trip with easy shuttle logistics in northern B.C. or southern Yukon. We wanted an interesting filler run (preferrably with some white water, but nothing real hard) as the immediate predecessor to a separate flat water canoe trip on the Big Salmon River near Whitehorse, Yukon. Dennis remembered the North/Black run and proposed it to the group. A short time later it looked to be the best choice of the few rivers on our list that fit all the requirements, so in early March we started doing some serious research as we knew absolutely nothing about it.... (and after completing the run we decided that outfitter didn't either.) Soon, some of how we did our research will be in the Wilderness Tripping "How To" section, which is linked from the Home page. Actually, checking out the pages included in this North/Black/Liard trip section will give you a pretty good indicator of most of the things you'd like to know before going on any trip, much less a trip of this magnitude.
