The bus tour follows a 5 km loop around the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, providing ample opportunity to view a variety of northern mammals and distinctive habitats. The tour is led by a knowledgeable interpreter, who will stop the bus to allow visitors to get off and view the animals. The bus tour takes approximately 75 minutes.
Please Note: Dress appropriately for winter weather.
Self-guided walking tours are available year round. Visitors are provided with an informative trail guide and a map indicating the walking routes and locations of the animals at the Yukon Wildlife Preserve. Visitors have a choice of walking a 2.5 or 5 km loop. Picnic tables, benches and outdoor washrooms are placed along walking routes for visitor convenience. Walking tours must be conducted during daylight hours. Recommended last summer entry is at 4pm and recommended last winter entry is at 2 pm.
The Preserve now offers groomed ski trails during the winter months. The 5km trail runs through the boreal forest alongside the animal pastures. For a more detailed interactive view of the trail, go to
