WHITEHORSE, YUKON: VACATION PACKAGES & TRAVEL PLANNING

Whitehorse, once the gateway for prospectors on their way to the Klondike Gold Fields, is now itself a treasure for travelers wanting to experience an ancient land that even today boasts pristine wilderness and cultural richness. The capital city of Yukon, Whitehorse was established on the banks of the mighty Yukon River surrounded by mountains and lakes and has become known as the Wilderness City. Brightly coloured murals detail the city’s history, which is also celebrated in several museums and historic sites such as the ice age inspired Beringia Centre or the historic sternwheeler, the SS Klondike. Other points of interest include panning for gold, learning about migrating birds at the Swan Haven Centre, or enjoying the spectacular vista from the Miles Canyon viewing site or suspension bridge. Adventure abounds with warm weather activities such as golf, hiking, or kayaking and cold weather pursuits such as snowmobiling, dog mushing, or skiing.
