I spent summer in Canada in 2010 on my way down from Alaska to NYC. The people were super nice, the weather was pretty good. I used the Alaskan Marine Highway to get from Yukon to BC/Alberta.
Canada never disappoints.
My Great Divide Trail in 2022 was a fabulous experience as well.
Yukon river
- 320km (200mi) canoeing from Whitehorse to Carmacks
- self guided, used a local outfitter
- a highly welcomed change to backpacking
Jasper National Park
- 159km North Boundary Trail
- Berg Lake Trail (Mt. Robson Provincial Park) is part of the route
- it’s a (more or less) maintained trail. North part of the park seemed pretty remote in contrast to some famous trails south of Jasper town.
- lots of wildlife (elk, bears, wolves) and pretty remote
Parks Canada has some information on the trail and on the park.
Kluane National Park
- 85km Cottonwood Trail
- wildlife, lakes, alpine tundra, grassy meadows
- a nice little hike
Parks Canada has some information on the trail and on the park.
