Wilderness Books about the Yukon

deutsche Version

Planning a wilderness river trip in the Yukon? This is where you start.

Since 1981, pioneer Yukoner Gus Karpes has written a number of guidebooks on the rivers in Southern Yukon, full of information accumulated through more than 25 years of experience as river guide, camp cook, naturalist and Yukon historian. In addition to describing the natural features of the river routes, the books also contain a wealth of historical information about the country you are travelling through, highlighted with photographs both new and old.

Gus provides the reader with a number of wilderness travelling tips, how-to's, do's and do-not's invaluable in the planning of a trip.

As a bonus, there are a number of short stories and personal anecdotes scattered throughout the books, which make great campfire entertainment.
