Yukon wilderness capital of the aurora
The friendly capital of the Yukon on the Klondike gold-rush river — a launchpad for northern-lights viewing, dog sledding, canoeing, hot springs, and vast subarctic wilderness.




A car is essential in the vast north.
In winter, head out of town after dark for aurora; in summer, paddle under the midnight sun.
Generally safe — exercise normal travel awareness.
Cosy brewpubs and aurora-watching nights.
