MHO Adventures
All Inclusive Backcountry Canoe Trips & Wilderness Guide Training
Overview
Located in East Central Yukon Territory, the Snake River finds itself in good company as one of six major tributaries of the Peel watershed alongside rivers such as the Hart, the Wind and Canadian Heritage River the Bonnet Plume. Lofty glacial peaks like Mount MacDonald tower above the swift-flowing upper Snake, one of the most stunning wild rivers in the Canadian North.
We will spend some time exploring the expansive alpine country at Duo Lakes, before making our way to the Snake River, which will take about half a day. Once we have made it to the River we celebrate our hard work with days of paddling clear swift moving water, surrounded by mountains enjoying gourmet food in the evenings. Together we will navigate the river from Duo Lakes down the Snake River, onto the Peel River where we will be picked up at a place called “Taco Bar”, only 2.5kms downstream of the Peel confluence.

What Guests Are Saying
Best of all is simply being able to enjoy the fun of moving water canoeing all day, and then having skilled and qualified people take over to set up camp and cook dinner while you sit in a comfortable chair with a glass of wine and watch the river flow by.
