calgary-fort st john-muncho lake lodge hitchhike to liard hotsprings from there. next day stop in watson for lunch once again will probably have to hitch a ride to town as it's about 5-8 k from town. onto whitehorse lot's of B+B's to chose from, a number of trails to walk and go to some of the touristy stuff too. high country in has a salmon bbq. Fly to dawson next stay overnight go to the dome and watch the sun rotate around u, always interesting to come out of the bar at 2am and play around of golf. fly the dempster to inuvik, tuktoyaktuk, aklavik, lots of cool stuff and if in season you can watch the whales in the river mouth in tuk. back thru Norman wells yellowknife peace river edmonton, most rental companies will not insure you if you go into alaska unless you have lot's of time there, however a stop in haines or skagway out of yxy will do. Buy the CFSupplement, buy a GPS over here if you don't have one quite a bit cheaper I understand. get all the WAC and VNC's study your route and buy a brand new 5 gallon jerrycan it can make the difference also study the rules wrt survival equipment required in unsettled area, you maybe able to rent one from your a/c charter co. PM if you need any help
