Yukon is Larger than Life on so many levels. With plenty of open road, very few people and breathtaking scenery, driving is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to see the Yukon. 

1. The Adventure

One of the best reasons to visit Yukon is to take advantage of the outdoor adventure programs - and there's a lot of it to do!  From hiking, to river tours, flightseeing, dog sledding, canoeing, mountain biking, fishing...the list goes on and on. Yukoners take adventure seriously during the winter or summer.

2. The Environment

In a big land, the size of California with a small town population of 36,000 people, visitors have room to be themselves. Pristine waters and air will rejuvenate the soul, and witnessing wildlife in an endless natural habitat will restore your connection with the natural world.

3. The History

The Klondike Gold Rush defined Canada in the later 1800's. Today visitors can experience a hike on the Chilkoot Trail, ride a the rails of the historic White Pass and Yukon Route, board a turn of the last century paddle wheel or stroll the streets of historic Dawson City or Carcross.

4. The Culture

Visitors will be able to learn and experience first-hand at festivals, events and tours about the First Peoples of Yukon and their strong link to the land and wildlife.

5. The Aurora

A National Geographic reader survey listed watching the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) as the most natural spiritual attraction to experience in North America. While as common as a sunset for northerners, a spectacular display can pierce city lights and strike everyone with awe.

Getting Around Yukon is Easy

With plenty of open road, very few people and breathtaking scenery, driving is one of the easiest and most rewarding ways to see the Yukon. Most routes are paved and can be driven year-round, although the most popular time is during the summer and early autumn when days are warm and long.

Choose from seven spectacular Yukon iconic drives. The very names of these roads hint of adventure―the famed Alaska Highway, the Klondike, the Top of the World, the Dempster. All provide an exhilarating combination of beautiful scenery, friendly communities and something to see or do around every corner. The routes take between two and five days to complete.

One of the most popular self-drive options in the Yukon is to rent an RV or motorhome. With plenty of clean and comfortable campgrounds in spectacular wilderness areas throughout the territory, visitors can experience the beauty of this land without foregoing the comforts of home. If you have clients who want to take the road less travelled but don't want to have to rough it, then suggest they get behind the wheel of an RV.
