Things to do in the Yukon
Gold-rush history, icefields, hot springs and the midnight sun — the sights worth your time, with real hours and honest entry prices.
Kluane National Park and Reserve
Canada's tallest peaks, the largest non-polar icefields on Earth, and grizzly-dense valleys within a two-hour drive of Whitehorse.
Tombstone Territorial Park
2,200 square kilometres of jagged granite spires, permafrost tundra and Beringian wildlife along the Dempster Highway.
Ivvavik National Park
A roadless Arctic park protecting the Porcupine caribou calving grounds and the wild Firth River, reachable only by bush plane.
Vuntut National Park
A 4,345 sq km roadless wilderness of Beringian tundra and the Old Crow Flats, co-managed with the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation.
Herschel Island - Qikiqtaruk Territorial Park
Yukon's only Arctic Ocean island, a 19th-century American whaling station and now a climate-change frontline eroding into the sea.
Fishing Branch Ni’iinlii Njik Territorial Park
The 'ice bears' of the Fishing Branch — grizzlies that fish chum salmon in an unfrozen river while covered head to toe in hoarfrost.
Coal River Springs Territorial Park
A rare set of active tufa terraces — travertine 'staircases' formed by mineral springs — in a remote corner of the southeast Yukon.
Agay Mene Territorial Park
A newer 767 sq km park of quiet boreal lakes and moose meadows co-established with Carcross/Tagish First Nation.
Kusawa Territorial Park
A 3,100 sq km glacial lake and mountain park an hour west of Whitehorse — the classic Yukon paddle and campground.
