Detailed itinerary
This is an extended wilderness trip that will take you between one and four weeks. The first portion of this tour takes you through the White Mountains, where you can spend several days hiking. The White Mountains are also a good place to spot Dall sheep up close from the river. Wolves often howl at night in this country. There is one section of upper Beaver Creek where a log jam sometimes redirects the flow of the river. This log jam is the only substantial obstacle on this trip. An air taxi will  pick us up from a landing strip 7 days downstream from the put-in.

If you continue paddling past this landing strip, you will gradually leave the White Mountains, arriving eventually at the Yukon River. Paddle for several more days along one of the most wildlife-rich segments of the Yukon to reach the Yukon River Bridge, where you meet your ride back to Fairbanks. This trip is occasionally unavailable because access to the put-in is sometimes washed out by spring melt water or flooding after heavy rains. As with any wilderness trip in Alaska, always come prepared with an alternate plan.
