Mountain Biking

Whether you're fairly new to the saddle or up for a technical challenge, you'll find a bike trail in the Yukon with your name on it. Climb wilderness mountains either under your own steam or via a shuttle, then take in the stunning view and a deep breath before an awesome descent. You may want to invest in a helmet camera, as the biggest stress of the day will be whether to take pictures at every turn, or keep the pedals cranking through an exhilarating ride.

Quickly becoming a mountain biking mecca, trails around Montana Mountain will leave you breathless. Closer to the Yukon's capital, Whitehorse, Grey Mountain and the Yukon River offer trail networks that could take years to explore.

After a couple of hours, or a couple of days, cap off the experience with well-earned culinary delights and unique luxury accommodations. The 24-hour light will give you plenty of time to ride and sit around with your new friends swapping stories of Yukon’s wilderness single-track nirvana.
