Tombstone Territorial Park

Reviewed By KJElmer - Vancouver, Canada

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.

Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre

Reviewed By JenniferandAlan - Easton, United States

The wooly mammoth family beckons you from the highway and you can see the yellow rib like structure of the center from the road. Don't pass it by. Loaded with displays and exhibits and a film for you to educate yourself on the land bridge. You'll learn how it formed, the climate conditions, how the animals migrated (both ways) and which survived and which didn't. And fossils! Even the walk to the center is interesting with sculptures of ice age animals. Enjoy! We're return visitors. Always something new to learn from the well informed staff. Thanks.

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.

S.S. Klondike

Reviewed By jima800

This historic old Sternwheeler shows you what it must have been like to travel in the days of the Klondike and Alaska Gold Rush. They have guided and self guided ours and both are great. The days of the gold rush must have been amazing and our ancestors that led the way must have been amazing and courageous individuals.. Be sure to watch the video for a good overview of what it was like.

Yukon Suspension Bridge

Reviewed By 770alw - Palm Springs, United States

the bridge is located only a few kilometres from downtown Whitehorse. It is easily accessible. There are good views up and down the Yukon River. Once across the bridge there are a number of easy to moderate hiking trails.
