Reliable shipping
Flexible returns
A solo, 1,000-mile expedition through one of the most brutal environments on Earth—on foot, in winter, across the trail of the legendary Yukon Quest.
In this gripping true story, endurance adventurer Dr. Mark Hines takes on an unimaginable challenge: walking the entire length of the Yukon Quest trail, a route normally conquered only by sled dog teams. Stretching from Fairbanks, Alaska to Whitehorse in Canada's Yukon Territory, the trail covers 1,000 miles of frozen rivers, remote wilderness, and Arctic temperatures dropping below -50°C.
Facing isolation, frostbite, injuries, and the constant threat of failure, Hines must rely on his survival skills, mental resilience, and sheer determination. But along the way, he also finds moments of profound beauty, self-discovery, and awe in the vastness of the north.
Perfect for fans of outdoor adventure, survival stories, and real-life extreme endurance, Hiking the Yukon Quest is a raw and unforgettable journey into the heart of winter wilderness—and into what it means to push the limits of the human spirit.
