front-row seats for a celestial lightshow,
from serious canoe expeditions to dogsled-
ding snowy trails.
Providing both flexibility and variety
(you could have watched aurora from a hot
tub at one partner property; four different
partners offer a variety of the dogsledding
experience), they will even arrange airport
pickup and accommodation from secluded
cabin to yurt in the High Country.
Here, on this frigid late afternoon, light
fading fast, sipping your steaming tea before
heading back to the High Country base, you
rate your satisfaction level as astronomical.
And then you feel it; you sense the sound
of infinite primordial silence.
You note another sound: in the dead of
winter, on a summer morning in a mir-
rored lake, on an autumn afternoon on a
Kluane slope.
It is siren song, irresistible invitation. It
is the Call of the Wild.
The Call of the (Yukon) Wild.
