Day 0: Arrival in Whitehorse, Yukon. This denotes the day or days spent in Whitehorse before the listed start date of the trip.

Day 1 - Transportation from Whitehorse to the town of Mayo where we will fly by charter to McCluskey Lake. A picturesque mountain setting, with an old cabin, serves as our first campsite.

Day 2 - We will use the morning to review our paddling technique on the lake and to portage our gear a short distance to a creek in preparation for setting out on our adventure. An afternoon of lining our canoes will bring us to the Wind River and our campsite for the evening. And thus begins our 280 km (165 miles) journey down the Wind River.

Days 3/11 - Our days on the river will take us through some incredible Yukon wilderness. Campsites have been selected to optimize the best of the Wind. We have set aside some non-paddling days to hike some of the mountain ridges that parallel the river. This is also a prime wildlife area with sightings of caribou, sheep, bear, eagles, and a myriad of mammal and bird life very possible.

We will eventually join the Peel River, passing both the Bonnet Plume and Snake Rivers confluence, and camp on a gravel bar in preparation for our return flight to Mayo.

Day 12 - Our air charter will return us to Mayo and from there return to Whitehorse.
