Situated in the upper northwest corner of Canada, next to Alaska, the Yukon is Canada’s most accessible northern destination. Its jaw-dropping natural features are what set this place apart, with it home to dramatic mountain vistas, wild rivers and crystal-clear lakes, and close to 80% of its land remains pristine wilderness. Here clients will find Canada’s highest mountain (Mount Logan), one of the largest non-polar icefields in Kluane national park and untamed wildlife including caribou, moose, grizzly and black bears – and only 40,000 inhabitants!

 

Yukon is a driver’s dream, with scenic drives through all corners of the state combining postcard-perfect scenery, historic communities and cultural attractions with adventure outings. The Alaska, Top of the World, Klondike and Dempster highways are legendary. Yukon also enjoys a rich cultural heritage, with about one-quarter of all Yukoners coming from aboriginal ancestry. Their culture has evolved over millennia into the rich tapestry of dialects, arts, crafts, cuisines, and practices that visitors enjoy today.

In 1898, the Klondike Gold Rush put Yukon on the world map. Today, visitors can experience this part of history by visiting the frontier town of Dawson City, a lively place bursting with heritage sites and attractions. They’ll feel the grit, heartache and golden dreams of the Klondike Gold Rush here. Another of Yukon’s heritage attractions, The White Pass and Yukon Route railway, climbs almost 3,000 feet in just 20 miles and features steep grades, cliff-hanging turns, two tunnels and numerous bridges and trestles.

 

From autumn to spring, when darkness comes to Yukon’s skies, the Northern Lights come out to play. First you might see a hint of neon colour in the starry sky, then a jagged burst of green, and soon you’re transfixed by an ethereal display of shimmering aurora borealis.

Yukon is also the Land of the Midnight Sun, where skies are glorious and summer light just won’t quit – the best time to visit is between May and August. Life flourishes under hours of intense sunlight as the land hosts millions of migratory birds and explodes in wildflower blooms.

 

This is a great time to follow the allure of Yukon’s iconic wilderness parks – Kluane (a Unesco World Heritage Site), Tombstone, Herschel Island, Chilkoot, Ivvavik, Fishing Branch – and its world-famous rivers: Alsek, Tatshenshini, Snake, Wind, Firth and Yukon. Visitors will witness calving glaciers, mountain vistas and abundant animal species, but all year long, Yukon’s wild places host unforgettable journeys.
