Trip Questions
Where will we be sleeping?
We will be sleeping in a variety of styles of tents along the way, including wall tents and regular 4 man pop up tents. We will have a couple nights in the cabin once we reach the basecamp. Accommodations are shared, unless you request a one man tent.
How do I get there?
Leaving from Whitehorse YT, it is a scenic 4.5 hr. drive south to the border town of Watson Lake. Shuttle buses are available from Whitehorse upon request. From Watson Lake, we hop onto a small float plane for a beautiful 45 minute flight over the Cassiar Mountains.
What kind of food will be eating?
We will be eating traditional boreal cuisine for the most part, using locally sourced meat and veggies. We can accommodate any taste or restrictions. Just because we are out on the trail, doesn’t mean we have to eat like it.
What are the daily activities?
Each day will be a little different as we are travelling and working with Mother Nature. Most days will begin with a lakeside Meditation, followed by a hearty breakfast. We will then take a short break while we digest and then move into our daily Yoga session. There will be some free time before lunch. After lunch it is your choice to do the group activity (hiking, riding, paddle boarding) or maybe just take the afternoon off to chill at your tent or the lake with a good book. Evening comes with dinner, followed by a short restorative yoga session , maybe some evening fishing and then a good nights sleep.
What is the washroom situation?
When we are on the trail, the bush is your washroom, once we get to camp we have outhouse facilities and access to hot water and on demand cedar shower.
