If you’re driving the Alaska Highway along Kluane National Park, take the time to stop at the small centre at the base of Sheep Mountain, near the bridge across the Slims River. Amazing mountain views, and a good chance of seeing Dall’s sheep on the slopes. The Centre at Haines Junction is also worth a visit, with lots of info on First Nations history and the St. Elias mountains. Kudos to Parks Canada for emphasizing hiking safety and awareness in this wilderness bear country.

Was only there for a short day trip and there was cloud cover, but you can’t hide the beauty! A nice easy hike, a picnic in an enclosed space with a nice fire and views in any direction. I’d like to make it back some day in August or September. If you’re as far north as Dawson City, it’d be a shame to miss this. The Dempster Highway is also an impressive feat. We crossed the continental divide and went as far as Two Moose Lake - the Arctic Circle was so close and yet so far.

very interesting historical past. A must see on your Yukon Tour. Dawson Creek a gateway to the Alaska Highway, the only major road that connects Northern BC, the Yukon, and Alaska to southern Canada and the lower 48° states of the United States.

Kathleen Lake was one of the top highlights of our visit to the Yukon. We loved it so much we went back 3 times in 2 days. There is camping on-site, but we were just there for the view as this was a photo trip. Kathleen Lake did not disappoint.
10. Sign Post Forest

Reviewed By JenniferandAlan - Easton, United States
We have made 21 trips to the Yukon traveling by car on the Alaska Highway and this is one of our favorite stops. The origin of the signpost forest was during WWII when homesick servicemen building the highway posted their signs telling how far they were from home. Don't forget to bring a sign of your own to add to the thousands already there. We add one each year and delight in reading other peoples signs to see where they came from. There is also a good movie in the visitors center about the construction of the highway and they will also lend you a hammer to post your own sign.
