Watching bears interacting without any care of his presence was fascinating for Paul, and being a privileged onlooker in their natural habitat created a lifelong fascination with Canada.

Larger than California but with just a fraction of the population, the Yukon slices between Alaska and Canada and is known for its untamed raw wilderness.
Drive along the unpaved Dempster Highway, regarded as one of the most scenic drives in the world, with spectacular seasonal colours and views across the expansive tundra landscape. Watch as grizzly bears plunge for salmon, ice fishing in the glacial waters of the remote Yukon rivers, and experience one of nature’s greatest displays — the bright lights of the Aurora Borealis.
Wildlife is prolific in this northern territory – vast herds of caribou, grizzly bears and wolves roam the wildlands, making this an exciting driving destination with well-maintained scenic roads. Famous for its gold rush history, this influence can be seen throughout the territory with many of the towns originating from the prospectors who travelled here in search of the gold that was settled in the many rivers.
The wild and rugged landscape is made up of thick forests, mountains, imposing rivers and lake-dotted tundra, making this one of the most raw and picturesque regions on Earth. Travel by train on the White Pass Route to take in unobstructed views of this epic landscape.
