Originally from Saskatchewan, Robin Anderson is one of those Yukoners who came to the North for a summer, and never really left.  He fell in love with the North’s wild spaces while attending university after a chance opportunity led him to spend a summer in Inuvik, NWT in the early 1990’s.  After that summer, Robin new he had to return and he found his life’s work the following year when he took on his first guiding position, sharing his love for the North with visitors from around the world.  17 years later, Robin is still in the industry having worked in a variety of tourism related positions, and owning his own travel company.  Robin enjoys hiking and snowshoeing the Yukon backcountry.  He’s had a love affair with running (a cruel mistress!) since his teens and loves to “get his fishing line wet” whenever there is an opportunity.  Robin’s other passion is spending time doing anything with his 12 year old daughter, who helps to keep things in perspective.

Who needs a 5-star hotel when there are 5 million in the sky above??
Christel is at home under any open sky, whether it be paddling the raging rivers of Nepal, trekking the volcano Highlands of Central America, or contemplating the inspiring vastness of the Canadian North.
Hailing from Quebec with German roots and a true passion for travelling, she is fluent in four languages: French, English, German and Spanish.
When she is not enjoying the great outdoors, she can be found in a sports medicine clinic at the foot of Mt. Tremblant, where she works as a physiotherapist. She also makes room in her busy schedule for teaching a variety of first aid courses.
Christel is looking forward to another season of guiding and sharing her passion for the Yukon and its beautiful rivers.

Rick first visited the Yukon and Alaska while leading a couple of camping tours in 1989.  He never forgot it and finally returned in 2002.
His love of the outdoors began at a very early age, running free on the beaches, in the mangrove swamps and African bush of his boyhood home, on the East African coast just south of the Equator.
Somewhat late in his career he became a camping tour guide and led tours all over North America regaining some of that freedom of an earlier age.  He progressed to management in the tour business, ending up in Los Angeles in the US.  But civilization and the crowds became too much for him and so he pulled up roots and came north and has never regretted it.  
He enjoys the outdoors of the great northland by camping, mountain biking, backpacking and hiking in it.

Terry and his family live in an off-the-grid solar home in the Kluane wilderness of Yukon, Canada. The Yukon and Alaska are two of his favorite places to adventure. because the scale of the wilderness and the remoteness in the north, lend themselves to unforgettable experiences.

Growing up in Northern Ontario helped Erin discover her true passion: exploring and living in the outdoors.  She has been guiding for four years in a variety of settings, including several Canadian provinces.  This spring, she came to the Yukon for the first time and immediately fell in love with the dramatic landscapes and beautiful rivers.  She is very excited about spending time experiencing more of what Northern Canada has to offer.

Miranda Currie first fell in love with the Yukon in 2002, when she drove north to experience the vast wilderness for herself. While living in Dawson City and later in Whitehorse she saw the Yukon as a land of opposites where she could find great adventure and great tranquility at the same time. Canoeing keeps her muscles strong in the summer and dogsledding helps to keep her warm in winter.
Miranda has worked in the outdoor industry for over 10 years, and has earned academic degrees in Outdoor Recreation and Geography as well as in Outdoor Education. She is passionate about the wilderness and teaching in the outdoors. Helping people discover something new in the Yukon really floats her boat! As a proud member of Opaskwayak Cree First Nation, Miranda loves to share the experiences of her culture with interested visitors. Her playful, enthusiastic nature and her 'larger than life' laugh will keep you entertained by the campfire. Miranda looks forward to sharing the Yukon with you!

"I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in." [John Muir, John of the Mountains]

Discovering the lush beauty of Canada, he believes, is best done by putting your hands right on it and feeling it. Living in and experiencing the Canadian Outdoors means taking pride in knowing and understanding the geological and geographical history as well as its, and our, impact on the future of this unique place on earth. He lives and works in Canada several years as a guide all the way from Anchorage (Alaska) to Vancouver (British Columbia): Hiking-Camping Tours, Kayak Tours, Canoe Tours and Dogsledding Tours.

Born in the Tyrolian Alps - mountains and nature have always played an important role in my life. Already at an early age I began to travel the world. After travelling extensively for many years worldwide, the earths wild and unspoilt places began to exert an indelible attraction on me. The result were countless trekking/hiking trips as well as technical ascents in all major mountain ranges of the world. For quite some time now I have been working as a freelance guide in western Canada. In the Yukon and Alaska I guide visitors on the rivers and mountains for Ruby Range Adventure. Simple living, like sleeping in tents, is not a hardship to me but a spice of life! My aim is to provide a safe and memorable wilderness experience.

Fridtjof Nansen is my biggest ideal. He said that:” Being on tour and in nature gives you complete physical and mental recovery”. The quality of life and the well being of oneself are much higher if you have the possibility to go outside into the nature. During my studies (physical education with main subject in and rehabilitation) I made a Degree in Outdoor Education (friluftsliv) in Norway to improve my skills in geology, biology and guiding. After working in schools as a teacher, as a therapist with cancer and heart disease patients and a season as a guide in Whithorse, I decided to go back to the “Larger than Life” Territory into the vast and gorgeous surrounding. As a girl from the Upper Austrian Highlands, my qualities are that I am a good mooded companion on tours and that I love to share my passion and knowledge of the beautiful and historical land of the Yukon.

Born in Germany, he enjoyed traveling from an early age. After school and University education he eventually quit his job as Managing Director to run his own business. In 1995 he visited the Yukon  for the first time and immediately “The Spell of the Yukon” – as most eloquently described by Robert Service – charmed him.
The decision to somehow make a living in the northern paradise was made then and there and he has resided in Canada’s Yukon ever since 1997. In 1998 he joined Ruby Range Adventure and always enjoys sharing “The Best of Yukon and Alaska”.

Fredrick was born in 1945 in Germany and moved with his family to Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1978. Since then - with the exception of living three years in northern Saskatchewan and B.C. - he and his family spent their life in Canada’s Yukon.
In moving to the Yukon he wanted to experience some of the remaining wilderness still on this planet. His original trade was in the Graphic Arts, offset-printing field. Besides working as a corrections officer and rental agent in the tourism industry, over the last twenty years he also became a recognized water color artist in the Yukon, producing and selling original art and prints. The scenery of Canada’s North still provides him with many motives for painting and his originals and prints can be seen in the Galleries of Whitehorse.
In 1999 the opportunity came up to work as a tour guide and - from 2002 on - he has been working for Ruby Range Adventures, conducting hiking and hotel tours throughout  Yukon and Alaska. His love of nature, combined with speaking the (German) language made being a tour guide an almost ideal job for him.

Mit Karte und Kompass, auf Ski, zu Fuß und im Kanu durch die nördlichen Regionen Europas und Nordamerikas. Seid über 10 Jahren ist Lars outdoor auf Reisen. Bevorzugte Ziele sind dabei die ausgeprägten Waldgebiete und Wasserstraßen Schwedens und Kanadas, sowie die Hochlagen Norwegens und Schottlands. Doch am meisten haben ihn die Weite und Wildnis des nordwestlichen Kanadas beeindruckt. Als Guide arbeitet er bereits seid 5 Jahren und führt unter anderem blinde und sehbehinderte Menschen durch das verschneite Finnland.
Als Guide zeichnen ihn vor allem Umsicht und umfangreiche Sicherheitskenntnisse aus. Sowohl Rettungstechniken im Kajak- und Kanusport, als auch Erste Hilfe frischt er regelmäßig auf, um auf den Touren ein großes Maß an Sicherheit gewährleisten zu können.
Auf seinen Touren legt Lars einen großen Wert auf Naturverträglichkeit und ökologische Verträglichkeit. Damit leistet er einen kleinen Beitrag dazu, dass auch in Zukunft ursprüngliche Naturräume noch aufgesucht und genossen werden können.

Always looking for the perfect balance between office-duties and spending as much time as possible Fly Fishing in the land of the Midnight Sun. Karsten enjoys the most exploring rivers, lakes and streams he has not fished before. And there are still plenty to discover in Alaska and Canada's Northwest....... Fishing for Salmon, Northern Pike, Grayling and Lake Trout are mostly the best options up north, but Karsten often prefers to focus on species which are not on everybody’s 'catching-list' such as Dolly Varden, Inconnu and other Whitefish. Karsten has fished lots of different waters world-wide but believes that the variety of different species combined with the pristine wilderness up here is hard to match. This is also the perfect playground for his now 3 year old son Felix, who is eager to learn as much as possible and seems already 'to be hooked' as well.

Susanne fell in love with Alaska and the Yukon in 1994 while on her honeymoon! Since then Susanne explored many areas of the North on several canoeing and hiking trips. Susanne is sharing the enthusiasm for fishing of her husband. Not necessarily catching the most fish while on a family trip, but you can bet she always gets the biggest one. So far her personal record stands at 54 pounds King Salmon caught on a fly rod. When not working for Ruby Range Adventure she is also in charge of their own 'Family program', she’s the mother of an energetic boy, and she can attest that when kids and their families are actively exploring together, they see, experience and learn so much more about the world and themselves.

Robert Perren ist in Bern (Schweiz) geboren. Schon als kleiner Junge war er mit  seinen Eltern in den Bergen unterwegs. Bergseigen im Sommer und Skitouren im Winter unternahm er, sooft es die Situation erlaubte. Nach seiner Zweitausbildung als Sozialpaedagoge arbeitete  er fast 20 Jahre in einem Kinder- und Jugendheim. Dazwischen immer wieder laengerer Urlaub.in denen er mehrwoechige Trekkings in Groenland, Island, USA, Alaska und Kanada unternahm.
Seit 1999 im Yukon. Kennt inzwischen seine “neue” Heimat fast besser als die Schweizer Alpen.
Lange Trekking mit schwerem Rucksack sind ihm lieber als (zu) lange Kanutouren.  Schlussendlich aber zaelt: Lieber draussen als drinnen. Er kennt seine Staerken, weiss aber auch von seinen Schwaechen. Wer mit ihm lange zusammen ist, lernt beides kennen.
Ein Husky von ihm ist nach Moeglichkeit immer auf Touren mit dabei, damit sich die Sehnsucht nach seiner Familie in Grenzen haellt.
Ein Grund von vielen, warum er 1999 ausgewandert ist:
“Auf nicht gewagten Schritten setzen sich Pilze fest!”

In 1997, Simon gathered hisfirst guiding experiences, mushing dogteams in Alberta. Since then he has lead hiking and canoe- adventures, private and a number of long established operators, throughout the western provinces and territories.
In addition to his university and college background in bio-geography and ecotourism management, his deep understanding of the boreal ecosystem is rooted in seasons of commercial wild-fruit harvest and work for environmental NGO's.
With an annual log of often more than 1000 river miles, the canoe is Simon's transportation of choice.
For Your safety he holds certificates and regularly visits update courses, such as Wilderness First Responder, Swift Water Rescue, White Water Canoeing and others.

After several years of vacation from Germany, my wife and i fell in love with Canada and we immigrated 1996 to start in Edmonton, Alberta. Since then we loved the Nature, specially the Rocky Mountains. With help of a good friend i got involved with the Tour Business. After a few years doing Tours as an Driver and later as an Tour Guide, specialized in small Group Tours with European Guests in Western Canada, now expanded also to the Yukon and Alaska in the Summer.

I spent a happy childhood right in the center of the Continental U.S.A.  My family enjoyed camping and travel, so my adventurous spirit was ignighted at a young age. I came to Alaska after college, and knew immediately this was "home" for me.  My husband and I met in Anchorage, and we have raised our 2 sons here.  Everyday I feel lucky to live someplace so beautiful and always full of breath taking surprises.  My hobbies include flower and bird identification, and I am always up for a hike into these beautiful mountains that fill me with peace.  My travels as an adult have taken me to all 50 of the United States, all of Canada's Provinces, and to 20 different countries world wide.  Some of my travels have been with a guide, so I understand first hand the impact a guide has on the experience a visitor may have.  It is such a joy for me to be able to share this north country I love so much with visitors.

Born in Switzerland he’ll never forget his roots, but at the same time he feels at home in the world. His world now is Alaska and the Yukon
Territory where he has stayed for many seasons since 1990.
He can look back at a wide range of experience in travelling. At the age of 22 he left his home country to find out what life is like in other parts
of the world. So he spent one and a half years in Australia and New Zealand and finally came to North and Middle America in 1988. For twelve years he used to work as a tour guide all over America, from Baja California to Alaska.
Since then he knows where he belongs to: Alaska. It has always been his favourite destination. So he decided to focus on the ”land of the last frontier“ where he guided camping tours till 2000. In 2001 he started to work with RUBY RANGE and he specialized in hotel tours. These tours are so special because they include both, Alaska (USA) and the Yukon Territory (Canada). Nobi’s motto: “If you love the land you can share that love with others.“
That’s why he is now sharing love for Alaska and the Yukon Territory’s wild countryside with lots of people he has taken around showing them the beauty of a land at the far end of the world.

He lives in the Yukon since 1992. In 1996 he moved with his family to Haines Junction to work as a Chef. In 2000 he began working as a Tour Guide, in the summer as well as in the winter. In 2004 he started working for Ruby Range Adventure.

His work in a tourism enterprise opened the best possibilities of realising his passion for travel. A dream came true. Once in a lifetime to Canada.
After few months in the Yukon he was fascinated, lost his heart and soul to this beautiful Country. The longing after untouched nature, wilderness, peace, adventure and freedom never left him. He achieved another dream. He build a log house at Mayo lake and lived for 10 years with his wife and two dogs in the true wilderness. Summer and winter, without power, running water, neighbours. Living the day to day life in the bush.
On and off he has been guiding for almost 30 years. He travelled thousands of kilometre by canoe. He visited all communities in Yukon. Still he likes adventure, the challenge and sharing his vast experience and knowledge with visitors from around the world. To tell people more about the Yukon he writes a free Yukon-Newsletter. (At the moment in German only) His interests are: Yukon History, reading, writing, photography, canoeing, fauna, flora, outdoor-survival, hunting & fishing, geology.
Since 5 years he and his wife Gaby are living near Whitehorse.
