    A true Alaskan. Calls the highway by its name and not route number. Broken windshield. Brings back memories. I've driven those roads before even into Dawson and always wanted to do that float trip. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

    I did that Dawson to Eagle round trip several times on the luxurious Yukon Queen tour boat back in the 90’s. I don’t think it operates anymore however.

    I would love to paddle the "entire" yukon river. It would be my ultimate dream trip

      Yes indeed. Looked like you had a good trip too, if a bit more ambitions than mine.

    what was the total distance paddled? and how many hours the river total?

    • @philschaefer4651
      @philschaefer4651  Před 11 měsíci

      Total river distance was 105 miles. The river was running high and faster than normal so we only had about 12 hrs total paddling time. GPS shows we were doing over 15mph several times. A couple friends of mine did it 2 days after us in pack rafts and only took 2 days.

      Thanks. it was about a 5 hour drive between Eagle and Dawson, including construction delays and border crossing.

    16 out of 24 minutes driving! What a load of crap. Should be called 'Driving to the Yukon'.

    • @philschaefer4651
      @philschaefer4651  Před rokem

      You're not wrong. 4 days of driving for 2-1/2 on the river.
