Whitehorse

Whitehorse is the capital city of the Yukon Territory with a population of about 25,000 people. Whitehorse has it all - wilderness out the back door as well as all the modern conveniences and amenities of downtown. A network of hiking trails surrounds what's known as the Wilderness City, and the Yukon River flows right through town, with trails and parks on its banks.

The classic ambiance of Main Street coupled with great shopping, fine dining and cafés and quality accommodation make Whitehorse a superb destination as well as a base for explorations around the Yukon.

Take the time to visit some of the Yukon’s top attractions during your stay in Whitehorse. Tour the restored sternwheeler, the S.S. Klondike, and explore the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre and MacBride Museum. Wander the Whitehorse waterfront where you’ll discover many ways to enjoy the historic Yukon River - by raft, canoe, or tour boat. And there’s so much to do just a stone’s throw from Whitehorse. Explore hiking trails minutes from downtown at Miles Canyon or ride mountain ridges overlooking the city.
