Guided Hiking Expedition to Donjek Glacier

After enjoying a hearty breakfast to energize us for the day ahead, we’ll take a short drive to the trailhead, located just 10km north of Burwash Landing. Here, our adventure truly begins as we leave behind the comforts of civilization and take on our journey to the Donjek Glacier.

The first day's hike is gentle and relaxed, primarily following an old mining route that has become overgrown in places. Occasionally, we’ll navigate through willows and brush, but the terrain remains manageable.

As the day comes to a close, we’ll arrive at the Burwash Uplands, where we’ll set up camp. Here, we’ll spend our first night surrounded by the stunning beauty of the wilderness.

Forget the easy route—prepare for an exciting adventure filled with epic stories and wild fun. We’ll leave boring trails behind and dive into rugged terrain, armed with a map, compass, GPS, and a guide who knows the area like the back of their hand.

Expect to traverse tundra, scramble down steep slopes, and wade through fast rivers. Heights might challenge you, but that’s part of the thrill. We're going truly off-trail, where every kilometer feels like two, but the experience outweighs the effort.

Along the way, enjoy stunning spots like the Donjek River Valley and grassy alpine slopes with breathtaking views of Kluane National Park. You'll carry 7-9 kg of shared gear and personal items, but the reward is standing close to the majestic Donjek Glacier.

Wildlife abounds—keep an eye out for moose, caribou, and maybe even a bear. But the real highlight is the stunning scenery that will linger in your memory.

Every evening, we’ll set up camp, enjoy delicious meals, and relax under the stars. Expect to hike 5-7 hours daily with a 300-meter elevation gain, peaking at around 1,000 meters on tougher days. And don’t worry—Day 5 is a “chill day” for exploring the camp without your heavy pack.

After an incredible 9 days of trekking through the wilderness, Day 10 is dedicated to relaxation and celebrating your achievements. We’ll wrap up our adventure and return to civilization, where life’s simple pleasures await: a hot shower, tasty snacks, and, of course, a well-deserved cold beer. You’ve certainly earned it!

As this will be our last night together as a group, we’ll head to Haines Junction for a delicious dinner and enjoy all that this charming town has to offer. (And yes, there may be more than one beer involved, depending on how many steps you’ve taken!) After refueling and sharing tales from our journey, we’ll return to our final campsite for one last night under the stars.

The next day, we’ll pack up and make our way back to Whitehorse, where you can take a moment to breathe, kick off your boots, and begin to reflect on the unforgettable memories from this trek.

It's our final morning in the wilderness, and we’re savoring every moment. After indulging in a hearty breakfast and enjoying a warm cup of coffee by the fire, we'll pack up our camp for the last time. The journey ahead is a leisurely ride back to Whitehorse, where our adventure will officially come to a close. But before nostalgia sets in for the backcountry, take a moment to pause and reflect—you're about to step into a piece of Yukon's rich history.

As we make our way back, you'll traverse areas steeped in their own unique tales. The landscape surrounding Whitehorse is infused with the history that shaped this rugged, wild region. So, as you head home, a part of the Yukon’s spirit will accompany you, beckoning for further exploration...
