Wilderness Tourism Licensing Strong Yukon laws protect both wilderness travellers and our world-renowned wilderness. Operators from the Yukon or elsewhere who take clients into the Yukon wilderness for any gain or reward require a Wilderness Tourism Licence. Licensed wilderness operators have met strict requirements, including public liability insurance coverage and valid First Aid/CPR certification. Low-impact camping and waste disposal must be practised! Be sure to confirm the operator is licensed when planning a wilderness trip. Backcountry Registration is required for overnight trips in all national parks. Popular routes along the Chilkoot Trail, Alsek River (Kluane National Park) and the Firth River (Ivvavik National Park) may require permits or limit the number of users. Please contact Parks Canada for more information. Walk Softly We want the Yukon to remain pure, authentic and natural. In all wilderness activities we encourage low-impact principles of “Leave No Trace.” Jack London and his companions may have lived off the land and built cabins where they pleased, but that’s not possible today. Obtain proper licences for fishing, hunting and camping, and follow the regulations that help conserve Yukon’s treasures.
