In case you haven’t heard the news, a Vancouver-based website called NSMB (North Shore Mountain Biking) is currently here writing and shooting photos for an upcoming article.
Their itinerary looks good:
Day 1 - Arrive in Whitehorse. Build bikes, 2-3 hour ride - a little taster - BBQ at yurtville
Day 2 - Big brunch, shuttle ride Goat Trail, tour of Whitehorse, brewery tour, early dinner, big night ride. Epic evening/night ride (midnight sun ride) We will be shuttling up Grey mountain then hike a bike for 45 min to the top of Grey mountain and start our way down from there. From there we will be making our way down to the Yukon River and then follow the river bank for about 15km. The entire ride should be about 4 to 5 hours
Day 3 - Carcross all day, Skagway AK for dinner
Day 4 - Grey Mountain/Yukon River/Carcross - which ever is the favourite! BBQ and party with a bunch of local mt bikers
Day 5 - recover, fly home
But what’s most cool is that I bet there’s a lot of locals who’ve done the same tour themselves (sans the glamour and return flight). Man, we live in such a killer place, don’t we?
