Lost In The Yukon - Epic Canoe Trip Down Remote Big Salmon River In The Yukon Territory

In the summer of 2023, Ashley and I (Keenan) drove to the Yukon for a summer of adventure and to canoe down the Big Salmon River. We would end up traveling hundreds of kilometres through the wilderness, winding our way through the mountains. We would have some amazing wildlife encounters, small rapids to run, log jams to overcome and storms to weather but it was the trip of a lifetime. We have spent many summers in the Yukon and all we can say is "what an absolutely amazing place to see and explore". This trip through remote Yukon Territory was one of the best canoe trips we've ever been on. Hope you guys enjoy the video....we are so excited to share this adventure with you.
Also wanted to say a big thank you to Doug at Nisutlin Outfitting for his help this summer. If you guys are planning a trip to the Yukon and the Big Salmon, or many of its other rivers are on your paddling list, Doug is an absolute awesome guy to deal with and can help you accomplish your trip. Thanks again Doug for your help and conversation on the road trip. We hope to see you again next summer. nisutlinoutfitting.com

    How GLORIOUS, AND BEAUTIFULLY PRODUCED. Having Ashley read was a stroke of utter brilliance. There is no other youtube canoeing adventure that tops that, just Splendid. Thank you. I am so glad to see Ashley we couldnt know if shed lost desire to go with you, we always think the worst......what a joy to see all 4 of you. I wrote this poem year's ago. Alone by the River, Gazing high to the peaks, The fresh mountain wind in my hair, My soul is restored, my spirit renewed, For its God that I feel when I'm there.

Grabbed my coffee and had movie night on the big screen at 7 am and this video is magic guys. The narration and the way you wove Ashley reading the book into the story was moving. Incredible camera and sound work as well as music. Not many KZread videos I watch that are over an hour that leave me wanting more, but this video sure did. Wishing you two a Happy Christmas and a 2024 that is full of winding rivers and more adventure.

    I thoroughly enjoyed your video and wanted to thank you for sharing your adventures. The Yukon has always held a special place for me and my family. Never been there but my grandfather did and loved to share his adventures and love for the area.. My grandfather was born in Upstate NY in 1903. He enlisted in the Coast Guard in his late teens and after spending two years stationed on Lake Ontario transferred to Junea Alaska. He absolutely fell in love with the area and would venture up and down the coast with fellow Coasties when they had time off. He eventually spent time in the Whitehorse area and after leaving the CG found work as a teacher in that area. He would spend his time off in the summers exploring and living off the land paddling the Yukon and smaller tributaries for weeks at a time. He spent over 10 years in AK and the Yukon territory before moving back to NY to be with family. He married, raised a family, and later returned back to Juneau in the 60s on a tour. I was born in the 50s and loved to hear the stories he told of paddling, camping, hunting and fishing. Usually he shared these stories while we were hunting or fishing. On several occasions he mentioned that they would pan gold from the smaller tributaries and recieved 30 dollars Canadian per ounce. He passed away in 1997 and my Mom inherited his possessions. After his passing my Mom asked for help clearing his home out to get it ready to sell. It was quite a chore and took months. My mom had seen most of his picture albums over the years but I had never seen the Yukon pictures. We also discovered a diary that she had never seen that was from his years in that area. The kicker was the maps that showed where he started these summer adventures, campsites, portage trails and even locations where they panned gold. Months later my Mom discovered a leather pouch with gold dust and small nuggets when she was going through some boxes. There were other sentimental finds with the gold that must have been just as important to him. I suggested she sell the gold and take a trip up their with my Dad but it never materialized. Mom gave me the gold and most of the other finds from that area. I treasure them all.

    Wow best video I’ve seen. I’m 66 years old. I’ve been in an equivalent to a garden of eden but only one night; where I couldn’t sleep due to the beauty and mystery. Your video is more vast and better than eden. Wish I was there. Consider me if you go on another adventurer- truly once in a life time adventure. I’d give it my all for what’s left in the world. Truly beautiful accomplishment and shared video.

    Nice how you experienced the Big Salmon River. Also with how calmly you approach this tour. I myself have paddled this river twice in the past. It is gratifying for me to refresh my memories with your pictures. I'm immediately inspired to plan the next tour of paddling. Keep it up, you're contagious.
