Yukon 4x4 Off-Road Tour To Montana Mountain
Your backcountry Yukon adventure begins mid-morning at the Visitor Information Centre in
downtown Carcross; if you choose pickup in Whitehorse, you’ll depart an
hour earlier and enjoy the scenic drive south to Carcross with views of
the coastal mountains.
After settling into your seat in
the four-wheel-drive Unimog, which holds up to 10 passengers, head
with your guide into the wilderness! This part of Canada isn’t seen by
many visitors, and you’ll be rewarded with unblemished alpine vistas as
you make the 3,000-plus-foot climb up Montana Mountain. A large volcanic
massif, Montana Mountain sits just north of the border between Yukon
and British Columbia. Spanning an area of approximately 70 square miles
(180 sq km), the mountain boasts several peaks, including Montana itself
at 7,243 feet (2,208 meters), as well as Brute Peak, Matheson Peak and
Dail Peak.
As you drive, learn about both the physical and
cultural attributes of Montana Mountain from your guide, who will tell
you about native wildlife like mountain goats and woodland caribou, as
well as the mountain’s role in the ancient legends of the Tagish and
Carcross First Nations.
There will be time to explore on foot,
if you wish, or simply snap shots of the scenery from the Unimog. With
your guide, visit the site of a historical silver mine, see a secluded
lake, look for animals and sit down to an alfresco picnic lunch of local
Yukon ingredients: a sandwich or wrap, fruit, veggies and dip, juice
and other drinks, and sweets.
Your tour ends with transport back to Carcross or Whitehorse.
