All events are free unless otherwise noted. Events with capacity restrictions require registration. If applicable, a registration link will be included in the event description. Cancel your registration if you cannot attend so we can offer the spot to someone on the waitlist.
Some of our events take place in obscure locations. For those events, we use a service called what3words to show the exact meeting location. Simply click on the link provided, if applicable.
We post regularly to social media (@yukonwildlifeviewing on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok). Follow us for fun clips, photos and for fantastic and respectful wildlife viewing experiences.
Events
Ski-bou, Tueday, Mar. 19
Bring your cross-country skis and hit the Mount Lorne trails to look for Woodland Caribou in the evening, when wildlife is typically more active. After a brief presentation in the parking lot, we’ll go for a short ski to look for tracks and scat (poop). If we’re lucky, we might even spot a few of these elusive ungulates.
Time: 6:30 to 8 pm. Dress for a leisurely five-kilometre ski and bring a headlamp as we'll be coming back at dusk. Bring your classic skis waxed and ready to go, as well as snacks and water.
Register is required for this event. Registration opens one week before, at noon. We will cancel this event if the temperature is -20°C or below.
Location: Mount Lorne Community Centre (Annie Lake Road), 30 minutes south of Whitehorse.
