Pike Palace – Keno City

Jul 7 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

The mining roads of Keno Hill give us access to the alpine and prime pika habitat. We’ll drive to the top then have a gentle hike around looking for Collared Pika, Hoary Marmots, alpine flowers and rare arctic butterflies. You’ll need hiking boots or rubber boots, a wind/rain jacket, toque and warm layers and snacks for the walk.
 
Distance and terrain: hiking approximately 2 kilometres over uneven terrain.
 
Location: Meet at the Alpine Interpretive Centre in Keno City (approximately 5.5 hours from Whitehorse and 3.5 hours from Dawson City). We’ll carpool/caravan 10 km up to Keno Hill (high clearance vehicle recommended).
