Road Less <strong>Travel</strong>led<br />
Traversing one of the <strong>Yukon</strong>’s leastpopulated<br />
regions, the Campbell/Canol<br />
wilderness route offers a quiet, more<br />
remote experience with rewarding<br />
fishing and wildlife viewing.<br />
A single-lane bridge on the Robert Campbell Highway spans the Lapie River Canyon – YG<br />
Come for fishing, camping and other quiet<br />
diversions, and consider the Robert<br />
Campbell Highway as your alternate route<br />
to or from the Klondike. This gravel road<br />
through an untouched wild landscape<br />
delivers a true northern driving<br />
experience. On your journey you’ll visit<br />
Ross River, a Kaska Dena First Nation<br />
community near the junction of the Robert<br />
Campbell Highway and Canol Road,<br />
and Faro, a former hardrock mining town<br />
that has reinvented itself for retirees,<br />
artists, families and visitors who seek rural<br />
and wilderness experiences. Although both<br />
the Canol Road #6 and Robert Campbell<br />
Highway #4 are maintained in the summer,<br />
motorhomes are not recommended on Hwy<br />
#6 and all travellers should be well prepared.<br />
