Mountain Biking

It's just you, your mountain bike and a panoramic view of river valleys, mountains and sky. You've found a stretch of single-track that is more technical than you'd expected, and the route is challenging—but spectacular. You're stoked, you've never gone mountain biking through such expansive mountain vistas, and you can't wait until tomorrow too. And the best part? You're five minutes from town.

Canada's Yukon is fast gaining a reputation as one of North America's best mountain biking destinations. Yukon has everything mountain bikers are looking for. Places such as Carcross, Faro, Keno Hill, the Klondike Gold Fields and Whitehorse's Yukon River Valley have hundreds of miles of old mining and moose trails, as well as newer double and single-track for cycling. Mountain bike rentals, gear, repairs, shuttles and other services for cyclists are all available in Whitehorse, Yukon's capital and mountain biking mecca.

Road Biking and Cycling Tours

Maybe you want more time to look at that panoramic view, rather than snatching quick glances as you negotiate the rocks and roots under your tires? If a cycling tour is more your style, consider the Yukon for a scenic biking trip. Our safe, well-maintained highways and campgrounds are popular among all bike travellers, from beginners to experts. 

With so many scenic drives to choose from, you can opt for a Yukon cycling route that matches your needs and experience. For a shorter, smoother loop, there's the Golden Circle or Southern Lakes Circuit. If you're feeling more ambitious, there's the Alaska Highway or the Klondike to Kluane Loop. For more extreme cyclists, the Dempster Highway offers a unique opportunity to cross the Arctic Circle on a maintained gravel highway.

Whatever kind of bicycle you like to pedal, a cycling vacation in the Yukon means open roads, challenging trails and brimming vistas. Guaranteed.
