In plain and simple terms, at Uncommon Journeys we love to eat well! We pride ourselves on providing one of the finest menus in the entire Territory. We create healthy and hearty meals that keep our guests fueled up for the entire day on the river or the sled runners. Between the exercise, fresh air and excitement of the day, we find our guests telling us that they eat significantly more than they do at home. And best of all… they seem to remain guilt-free!
On our river trips our guides overcome the challenges created by warm weather and weight restrictions and create outstanding meals. Between the bounty of fresh fish and seasonal berries, no one ever goes hungry on the river! On our dogsledding trips where we are camping out, we bring absolutely outstanding homemade meals such as beef bourguignon, stroganoff, pineapple chicken and shrimp and scallop linguini. This meal system means hot, delicious meals are guaranteed regardless of the weather and best of all there are no dishes! At our Homestead and wilderness basecamp we have a commercial kitchen and wood cookstove respectively which, with a little magic from your guides, routinely creates menus such as the ones listed below. Bon Appetit!
