Highlights of the Yukon
Whitehorse
There's plenty to do in Whitehorse; take to the historic Yukon River that flows through town, hike your way through hundreds of trails or climb into the seat of a float plane on Schwatka Lake and fly off to wild, secluded places.
Klondike
Klondike is home to one of the last great gold rushes and the region has deep-rooted First Nations culture. Here, history is everywhere. Take a boat to the fascinating historic village of Fort Selkirk, or drive the Top of the World Highway for beautiful panoramic views.
Kluane
In the summer, Kluane comes alive with sunshine, songbirds and wildflowers. Ancient icefields, huge glaciers and mountains dominate this region all year long. Wildlife viewing can include mountain goats and Dall sheep on the mountainside, and grizzly and black bears are often seen munching on plants along the highway.
Silver Trail (Highway 1)
The name “Silver Trail” is due to the area's silver mining boom—a lesser-known era than the Klondike gold rush. Enjoy a tucked-away arts scene or paddle a historic river... Just be sure to give the right of way to any majestic moose or impressive mammals that may cross your path!
