About Whitehorse

Welcome to Whitehorse, Yukon — Canada’s vibrant “Wilderness City” and the quintessential gateway to an unforgettable northern adventure! Nestled along the historic Yukon River, surrounded by breathtaking mountains and pristine lakes, Whitehorse seamlessly blends stunning natural beauty with a rich cultural tapestry.

This thriving capital has been home to notable figures who’ve left their mark on history and culture. Imagine the spirit of Robert W. Service, the “Bard of the Yukon,” whose timeless poetry vividly captured the essence of the Klondike Gold Rush era. The adventurous Pierre Berton, a renowned Canadian historian and journalist, also called the Yukon home, deeply influencing his celebrated works on the country’s past.

Beyond its famous residents, Whitehorse boasts iconic features that define its unique character. Witness the SS Klondike, a fully restored sternwheeler that stands as a testament to the city’s steamboat era and its pivotal role in transportation. Explore the Whitehorse Fishway, a fascinating fish ladder that helps Chinook salmon bypass the Yukon River Dam, a true engineering marvel. For a glimpse into the past, the MacBride Museum of Yukon History offers captivating insights into the territory’s vibrant heritage, from the Gold Rush to First Nations culture. Don’t miss the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, where you can observe northern wildlife in their natural habitat, or take a scenic drive to the Emerald Lake (Spirit Lake) for its striking turquoise waters.
