Trips & Weekend Events
Through out the summer, YCKC leads both day trips and paddling weekend events for our members. These trips are designed as "friends leading friends" and aims to create a space for paddlers to meet and share their love of the river. These vary in skill level, watercraft and location.
NEXT Day Trip: Tutshi River - August 21
Where: Tutshi River, near Log Cabin on the South Klondike Highway - Class III river with optional Class IV drops.
Meeting at the Fuel Yukon (Whitehorse) @ 8:30AM, we will be paddling from the Lakes Put-In = plan for 4 hours on the water (bring enough snacks!)
A friendly reminder that club trips are not guided trips but in the spirit of friends leading friends and that all participants must have a current YCKC membership & sign a waiver.
