This book is a travelogue of a canoe trip from Whitehorse to Dawson City in 2004. Three people traveled to Whitehorse, packed up on two canoes, and headed north on the Yukon River. They paddled, fished, camped, and cooked their way to Dawson City over the course of thirteen days. After the canoe trip, they toured around the eastern edge of Alaska for a few days.
