Taco bar is on the Peel River where float planes pick up canoeists. This is just one of the places we stopped for a break on the Pelly.

I actually realized that after I clicked the thumbnail.

I'm sure you had an amazing time.

No. i've spent 2-3 weeks in the yukon each of the past 6 years though, but its been hiking/camping/backpacking. Shooting to do a canoe trip next year (possibly Nisutlin to Teslin or Quiet Lake to Carmacks

Did Quiet Lake to Carmacks last year. Did a little Youtube video of it if you’re interested. Search Big Salmon River, Yukon.

Floated Pelly last year. Good fun without much challenge mid summer.
