Nestled along the scenic banks of the Yukon River, Whitehorse is truly a wilderness city, set in the heart of the beautiful lands of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta’an Kwäch’än Council. As the gateway to the Yukon and Alaska, it’s a thriving hub for explorers eager to experience the North.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless ways to explore the surrounding wild landscape. Fish in pristine rivers, hike mountain trails, or paddle across tranquil lakes, all just minutes from the city. Join experienced local guides or venture out on your own to uncover the Yukon’s rugged beauty.
After a day outdoors, unwind in a cozy lodge or enjoy Whitehorse’s endless summer daylight exploring local attractions. In the fall and winter, keep an eye on the skies for dazzling northern lights. The city’s growing culinary and arts scene adds even more to explore! Try a glassblowing class at Lumel Studios, sip a latte from a local roaster, or enjoy a pint from Yukon Brewing.
Dive into the Yukon’s rich history at the MacBride Museum, where stories of the region bring the past to life.
