Your Invitation to the Yukon As Minister of Tourism and Culture, I invite you to come and discover Yukon’s rich artistic community, unique history and larger than life landscapes. Here you will find majestic mountain vistas, an abundance of wildlife and rich river valleys filled with nature’s quiet solitude. Enjoy treasures such as Watson Lake’s historic Sign Post Forest with its more than 71,000 signs pointing to locations around the world. Further up the highway in the Southern Lakes region, paddle crystal-clear waters, explore historic trails on Montana Mountain or enjoy winter activities such as world-class cross-country skiing or dog mushing. Whitehorse is a city for all seasons. It is found within the traditional territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta’an Kwäch’an Council and offers modern-day amenities, a broad range of cultural and recreational activities, and excellent restaurants and hotels, all nestled within the beautiful Yukon River valley. The Kluane National Park and Reserve, home to Canada’s tallest peak, is a vast wilderness playground, while communities in the area feature jaw-dropping scenery and cultural facilities highlighting the region’s majestic beauty and the culture of the Southern Tutchone people. Discover the quiet back roads and intimate campgrounds of the Campbell region. Nearby, the Silver Trail is lined with local attractions, natural habitat and opportunities to explore Yukon’s mining history. And of course you won’t want to miss the Klondike, home of Yukon’s historic gold rush and colourful characters past and present. Year-round, Yukon communities showcase arts and artisans, including the literary, visual and performing arts. Museums and archives, Yukon First Nations cultural heritage centres and historic sites hold the stories of our legendary past. There has never been a better time to visit and discover why Yukon is Larger Than Life!
