Discover Wildlife, Wildflowers and Wilderness on Foot
Imagine the exhilaration as you reach the summit of a mountain in Canada's Yukon. The Yukon's stupendous, scenic landscape beckons hikers from all around the world for the ultimate hiking adventures—combining nature, athleticism and northern wilderness.
Retrace historic Yukon trading routes, photograph wildflower meadows, sneak peaks at northern wildlife viewing in their habitats and marvel at the wide open Yukon landscapes and skyscapes before you.
If your dream is to find the best hiking in Canada, plan a trek in Yukon territorial or national parks renowned for their incredible hikes. Tackle the Donjek Glacier route or the Cottonwood Trail in Kluane National Park, Yukon's World Heritage Site. Witness the explosion of fall colours on the tundra landscapes of magnificent Tombstone Territorial Park. Chart your own journey over the historic Chilkoot Trail used by First Nation traders and Klondike Gold Rush prospectors.
For adventurers seeking a few hours, a few days or even a couple of weeks of hiking, the Yukon offers unlimited possibilities. Explore the Dena Cho Trail connecting Faro and Ross River, the Ridge Road Trail in the Klondike goldfields or the alpine trails crisscrossing Keno Hill. Enjoy unparalleled backcountry ridge hikes overlooking the Wind and Snake rivers, or a day of trail explorations around Carcross and Haines Junction.
