Yukon and Alaska Tours Include Hotel, Car, Excursions, Airfare

For larger-than-life adventures, plan a vacation to Canada’s Yukon. It’s where you can ride the rapids of some of the most exhilarating rivers in the world—and where you can cruise through picturesque northern forests as you accept the challenge of one the region‘s many renowned mountain bike trails.

If you prefer your adventures a little calmer, you can hike to the secluded alpine meadows of the backcountry or paddle through the emerald waters of glacial lakes. Or you can put your angling skills to test as you attempt to reel in a prized Sockeye salmon

When day is done, you can enjoy a funky performance of a vaudeville revue or head outdoors to watch one of nature’s own dazzling productions, the famed “Northern Lights.”

These adventures to the “Top of the World” are offered in a budget-stretching, all-inclusive 7-night package priced from $1,939 including airfare from the U.S. You can even shave off another $100 per person for reservations made by August 22, 2008.

“Yukon & Alaska Adventure” is a self-drive touring vacation showcasing a matchless combination of beautiful scenery, friendly communities and memorable attractions, as in one magnificent loop you experience the far north, from gold panning to glaciers. It is offered by Maxxim Vacations, one of Canada’s most respected travel companies.
