Ruby Range Adventure Ltd.

Looking for a real hiking adventure? The Chilkoot Trail is the original Alaska and Yukon adventure. Not just a trail, but a cultural corridor; the trail that was made famous by the legions of gold miners travelling to Dawson City in 1898, had been in use for thousands of years by coastal Tlingit traders travelling to the Yukon interior with goods from the coast to trade with inland tribes. The discovery of gold near Dawson City in 1898 brought some 30,000 gold miners to Skagway all headed inland to find fame and fortune in the Klondike.

Backcountry Navigator for Smartphones

Typically, smartphones are only useful useful if you are in range of the nearest cell tower. However, the Backcountry Navigator app provides offline GPS mapping. Even if you are outside of cell phone service range, the GPS on your Android (in theory) will continue to work anywhere you have a wide, clear view of the sky. With a bit of pre-planning, Backcountry Navigator lets you download maps and aerial photos of the areas you plan to explore while you are still in cell range and then use your Android’s GPS to find your position on these maps when you are in the wilderness.

River Canoe Trips

The Nahanni, the Tatshenshini, the Bowron Lake Circuit, and The Mackenzie River are just a few of the spectacular white water canoeing, kayaking and rafting opportunities that confirm Canada has the best rated wilderness experiences in the world. Great Bear Lake and Great Slave Lake add to Northern Canada’s reputation as a great place for wilderness kayaking and hiking experiences. Whether you want to kayak among the glaciers, white water raft down heart pounding rapids or photograph Dall sheep, grizzlies and caribou herds numbering in the thousands you won’t be disappointed.

Canoeing the Nahanni River

Whether you are inspired by the northern lights, glacier wrapped alpine peaks of the continental divide, miles of white water rapids, the unclimables, spectacular Virginia Falls, North America’s deepest canyons, the mysterious caves and underground rivers of the tufu mounds or simply bathing in the hot springs or photographing ; Dall Sheep, caribou herds, Peregrine Falcons, Musk Ox and Grizzlies up close, the Nahanni will awe and inspire you especially when your guide regales you with historical tidbits, archaeological insights and Inuit stories passed down for generations and collected over thirty years guiding on the river.

Operating a boat with a motor this summer? You need proof of competency.

Every summer, millions of people in Canada go boating. Some are avid anglers who are out on the water as soon as fishing season opens. Others are renting a cottage for the first time, and making their first trip out on the water in a boat with a motor. In both cases these boaters are required by law to carry proof of operator competency.

The Death of a Giant

Ontario’s provincial tree, the Eastern White Pine played a major part in the growth of Canada as a nation. This magnificent tree grew prolifically throughout eastern North America in the 1700’s and was a valued resource to the ship and furniture building industries. The fascinating story of the Eastern White Pine is woven throughout the history of North America and demonstrates the massive impact our actions can have on our environment.
