Whitehorse, the capital of Yukon, is far more than just your arrival point. Known as the Wilderness City, it sits on the Yukon River and is surrounded by rugged mountains and pristine lakes. Its vast trail network is perfect for hiking, biking or jogging, and we’ve included a four-hour Guided Canoe Day Tour so you can experience the beauty of the river firsthand.

Within an hour of the city, you’ll find natural hot springs, the Yukon Wildlife Preserve and the striking Emerald Lake. We also recommend a day trip to Carcross, where rich First Nation culture is proudly shared. Explore traditional totem poles, step inside a carving shed to learn about the art, grab a coffee at Carcross Commons and stroll down to the sandy shores of Bennett Lake. Overlooked by Montana Mountain, this former hub for Klondike gold seekers is also the starting point of the historic White Pass & Yukon Route rail journey.
