Expedition T1
July 19 – July 30, 2026 (12 Days): East Toad to Gataga Strip
This Expedition has been reserved as an Adventure-Rider trip with Guenter Wamser in conjunction with MK Adventures. For all inquiries, and to register, please be in touch with Guenter.
Those who do register will also need to fill out and submit the Information Sheet above.
This 12-day trip begins at Mile 442 on the Alaska Highway and ends near the Upper Gataga River where guests will meet the bush plane for the flight back to Fort Nelson. This expedition is mostly riding, but there will be some walking over steep terrain. It is a spectacular route, starting in lower country and finishing high on the Upper Gataga River surrounded by majestic mountain peaks. Most days will be spent travelling with the pack string, with some days off to allow for rest and day hikes. This trip is best suited for people who are riders and have experience riding in the backcountry as the terrain is considered advanced. You will also need to be physically fit to manage long days in the saddle, getting on and off your horse several times in the day, and some hiking.

This trip will begin at the Gataga Strip near Mount Churchill and finish at our Mayfield Base Camp.

This trip includes travelling days with the pack string, plus a few day-rides. The route includes some rigorous days. Guests who wish to sign up for this expedition should be prepared for hiking, walking their horses, getting on and off your horse several times throughout the day, and travelling through some more advanced terrain with the horses. We will also be fording the Gataga River with the horses near our Mayfield Basecamp. This expedition has a little bit of everything, including the sauna and dock at Mayfield at the end of your journey.
