Yes, the Yukon Territory is definitely worth visiting and exploring. This famed gold-rush land has so much to see and do, from quiet national parks and mountain summits to historic towns and highways that lead to the Arctic. You can veer from civilization to off-grid adventure and back again—over and over, to your heart's content.

Per one customer who booked the Guided Winter Wonderland Tour to Canada, "Beautiful scenic drive into Canada with many photo stops along the way. Our tour guide had great stories and was excellent."

Known as Canada’s last frontier, the Yukon Territory is a sparsely inhabited region filled with glacier-fed lakes, ancient icefields, and pristine, mountainous landscapes. For generations, it was home to Canada’s Indigenous First Nations communities, who hunted and traded in the wilderness. Later, it became backdrop to the Gold Rush.

That depends. Many people dip into the Yukon as part of a full-day excursion, generally departing from Skagway. Skagway is a popular cruise ship port, so full- and half-day guided itineraries are offered as shore excursions. With more time to spare, a week or 10-day road trip itinerary is recommended.

If you’re taking a full-day tour, you’ll likely venture along the famed Klondike Highway. Count on making stops at Emerald Lake, known for its green glow, or the Yukon Suspension Bridge, which lets travelers cross the roaring Tutshi River Canyon on foot. Other tour offers dog-sledding or snowshoeing experiences.

That depends. Each season has its own charm. Summer is renowned for the midnight sun when daylight stretches well into the evening hours. That’s the best time for canoe trips, camping, and wildlife-viewing expeditions. Winter is excellent for snowshoeing and skiing. Dog-sledding season lasts from fall to spring.

Yes, but you’ll need to take precautions. The Yukon Territory is a vast wilderness with limited phone service. Never travel alone, and pack a kit of essential survival items like extra water and food, first-aid supplies, and bear deterrents. People with no backcountry experience should opt for a guide.

It’s said that moose outnumber humans nearly two to one in the Yukon, so it’s little wonder that wildlife is easy to spot here—even without straying far from the highway. The Kluane National Park and Reserve is a great place to glimpse caribou, elk, fox, and porcupine. And remember, this is grizzly bear country.
