Last year Madison was one of the lucky grand prize winners of our Great Big Move challenge. She got to go on a five-day trip with her mom to the Yukon, courtesy of Travel Yukon<\/a>. We spoke with Madison to hear all about their fantastic trip of a lifetime!<\/p>\n

Coming from a city environment at home, I loved having a vacation that was all about nature<\/a>. It gave us a chance to relax and take our time looking at all the scenery.<\/p>\n

We did an abundance of activities<\/a>! We hiked up to Fish Lake and went horseback riding around it, canoed 28 kilometres down the Yukon River, visited a wildlife sanctuary and relaxed in some truly amazing hot springs. I had never done horseback riding before, but my mom had, so getting to do that with her was tons of fun!<\/p>\n
