Things to Do

From day trips to week-long excursions, the Yukon is full of canoeing possibilities

Whether your passion lies in pursuing outdoor adventures, participating in cultural events and festivals, or enjoying a comfortable drive through extraordinary scenery, you'll find it all here.

The Yukon, and its towering mountains, boreal forests, sweeping tundra, rushing rivers, enormous glaciers and miles of Arctic coastline, will energize your soul. 

You'll sleep beneath the northern lights and dance under the midnight sun. You'll discover the majesty of our national parks (Kluane, Ivvavik and Vuntut), territorial parks (Tombstone and Herschel Island) and Canadian Heritage Rivers (Thirty Mile―Yukon, Alsek, Tatshenshini, Bonnet Plume). You'll gaze up at Mount Logan, Canada's highest peak, and witness the migration of the Porcupine caribou herd.

Let history also come alive on your Yukon journey as you follow the trails of First Nation traders and gold strike prospectors, and visit Dawson City to relive the heady days of the Klondike Gold Rush. Listen to the stories of the First Nations Elders. Learn about ancient Beringian creatures that roamed the Yukon Territory 10,000 years ago.

There's no limit to what you can do in the Yukon.
