The mighty wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) is descended from the steppe bison that once thrived in ice age Yukon and provided food for the territory’s earliest people. Today’s bison can stand two meters high and weigh a ton.Our flight takes us northwest through the Sifton Range to Long Lake, situated near a broad plateau where bison love to graze. After landing on the lake you and your pilot will take a short hike for a view of that plateau. Afterwards you’ll enjoy a shoreline lunch before flying back to Whitehorse.
