TRAIL RIDES:
Yukon Shinevalley Expeditions
***2020 UPDATE***
We are a small horse packing business in the Fish Lake area. We usually offer 10-day trips in the wilderness to guests from Europe. Due to the Covid-19 restrictions we thought to diversify our service and open shorter horse riding trips for Yukoners to enjoy.
For this summer we will be offering some 2-DAY TRIPS with an overnight in the mountains.
