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.

Great opportunity to see a wide variety of wildlife in a short period of time. Very nice enclosures as well, the animals seem to have a lot of space. Nice 5km loop walk or you can take a shuttle.

Nice stroll along the Yukon River, I'd rate as an easy hike with good variety of trails. Looking for more challenging try Grey Mountain.

Caribou Crossing, home of the "Museum of Yukon Natural History", specializes in serving up a fresh, hot BBQ lunch daily. Be sure to stop by for a homemade meal and stick around for one of many onsite activities. They offer dogcart rides with a fleet of local huskies, gold panning, and an extensive gift shop featuring the finest local Yukon-made artwork and gifts.

Nice clean place to visit, BBQ chicken was great, loved feeding the animals in the petting zoo, the large building with the taxidermy animals was a great view - especially the super-duper large polar bear!
