Wind River, Yukon 

The Wind is one of the rivers in the Northern Yukon which makes up the Peel water shed. We paddled this river in august 2008. A bad summer in the Yukon meant that water levels were high and allowed us to race along. The weather was mainly cold and wet with northerly wind but occassionally the sun popped out for a few minutes to allow a photo shoot!

Trip is from Mcclusky Lake to a take-out at Taco Bar.

Thanks to Hannes Aschwanden and Herbert Niedermeier for the photography.
