Arctic Day: Carcross & Southern Lakes Hiking Tour | full day

About this activity

Starting in Whitehorse, we take the South Klondike Highway where the mountains rise as we approach Carcross and the Southern Lakes region. On the way we will admire Emerald Lake, called "Rainbow Lake” from the locals due to its sensational coloration. We visit Carcross, a charming lakeshore village teeming with First Nations and gold-rush history. On a moderate hiking tour on scenic trails we will be overlooking the grand Southern Lakes. We visit the smallest desert in the world - the Carcross desert.
