The Yukon is one of North America's most undiscovered destinations and close to 80 percent remains pristine wilderness, meaning the vast panoramic backdrop is one of the most spectacular places in the world to ride off into the sunset or under the glare of the wondrous Northern Lights.

The Yukon offers a plethora of ways to explore onboard a trusty steed including guided tours, overnight expeditions, and riding along historic routes and through natural landscapes, with options for both short and multi-day trips.

Here are some of the different ways visitors can horseride in the mighty Yukon:

Aurora Hunting by Horseback with Caribou Wild Mountain Tours
