The Snake River in Yukon flows through the spectacular Bonnet Plume Range offering Class II-III whitewater through pristine wilderness above the Arctic Circle. Starting from Duo Lakes, this 200km journey drops nearly 1,000 feet through alpine terrain with exceptional hiking opportunities and mountain vistas. The river features technical rapids including the challenging upper section, with crystal-clear water alternating between whitewater runs and calm stretches. Access requires floatplane charter from Mayo, with ideal conditions typically July-August when mosquitoes are most intense but weather is most stable.
