Hart River, Yukon, July 2024

We will be a group of 8. We currently have 4, probably 5. Generally all decisions on the river will be decided by consensus, UNLESS there is a safety issue at play. On average we will do 20-25 km/day, which should be easy as this is generally a fast moving river. We will have 2-3 days off to hike ... this will definitely be a component of this trip. All meals will be shared, and to some extent dietary restrictions will be accommodated -- within reason. The Hart is NOT extreme whitewater ... some prior experience would be required. Braiding and tight river bends are common on this river -- all northern rivers should not be underestimated. We will take the time to scout rapids when possible. Choosing a group for a trip such as this must be done carefully to ensure everyone shares the same vision of what success is. If you are interested in this trip contact the organizer at the email given below. Please be patient -- the process of collecting the right group of individuals takes time and vetting. The transportation (shuttle and floatplanes), and the canoe gear, and the accommodation in Whitehorse are already booked. We will have some meetings (perhaps some by Zoom?) to organize this trip. Presently, it looks like our expenses from Whitehorse forward will cost just over $3000 cdn. Two of us on this trip have paddled 4+ far north trips in Western Canada before. We can help, within reason, people are new to this aspect of canoeing. You need, however, to be fairly fit, healthy, and have the right gear to undertake a trip such as this.
