Our special outdoor
activities
| Guests at the
Lodge have the opportunity to enhance their wilderness
experience in a number of ways. Guided day hikes range from nice
,easy treks along rock and gravel filled creek beds to more
strenuous hikes up any one of the 1500 to 2000 metre high
mountains which completely surround Tincup Lake .Climbing ropes
and cramp-on are not required but a pair of quality, good
fitting hiking boots is a must !! The hikes offer guests the
opportunity to see and photograph wildlife, flowers and
panoramic vistas of unspoiled Yukon wilderness. The only trails
visible are the well worn game trails followed for centuries by
migrating caribou, moose, Dall sheep and grizzly bears. These
trails also serve the hiker with easy access routes to the high
alpine country where guests can wonder for hours and still be in
constant site of the lodge below. Overnight sleep outs on top of
any of the surrounding mountains can also be arranged. In
addition , the Lodge also provides it's guests with unlimited
use of it's cedar canoe, rowboat and one person kayaks. The
long, quiet evenings and perfectly still waters of Tincup Lake
provide our guests with the perfect opportunity to glide up
quietly and observe at close range, moose and other animals
grazing at the waters edge. After a full days activities and a
satisfying dinner, guests are invited to try the wood fired
sauna or the six person hot-tub before retiring for the evening.
