Canada's Yukon Territory

About The Yukon
Canada’s Yukon Territory is placed between Alaska and NWT and sits north of the 60th parallel, above British Columbia. With a powerful frontier image it's an exciting destination that offers wilderness, wildlife and stunning scenery! Here you will find something for every holiday interest from self drive routes, RV rentals or outdoor adventures. Kluane National Park is an  icon and home to some of North America’s tallest peaks; as a Mecca for soft adventure seekers the Yukon boasts numerous navigable rivers, hiking, climbing and camping potential. One of the Yukon’s greatest assets is the ease of access to this extraordinary backcountry – with a highway network envied by neighbouring territories, you can reach many of the natural features and highlights economically and quickly. Coach tour travellers get to see wilderness up close - like never before. When you compare land size (483,450 sq km) to population (30,000) it speaks heavily in your favour. The team at VisitYukon have a deep love of nature and throughout the site we focus on many different ways to both reach it and enjoy it. The Yukon’s strategic position and easy logistics lets you combine Alaska and NWT into one great vacation.   

In 1898 news of the Klondike goldrush propelled the Territory into a global spotlight as the greatest stampede in history headed north. Since then the Yukon hasn’t looked back as today’s rush of enthusiastic travellers venture out on self-drive adventures, group tours, canoe trips, climbing and hiking expeditions. The gold rush may have come and gone – but the sense of excitement remains. VisitYukon is a major part of the new wave of explorers heading to Canada’s Yukon.
