Moose Country<br />
Watch for moose! The first 15 km of<br />
the Silver Trail past Stewart Crossing is<br />
a protected moose calving area. Slow<br />
down and watch for moose that<br />
frequent the swampy meadows<br />
bordering the Silver Trail.<br />

Signpost on Keno Hill<br />
This is a photo opportunity you don’t<br />
want to miss! Visitors to Keno enjoy unique<br />
access to alpine areas, including the drive<br />
up to the signpost on Keno Hill. This<br />
famous milepost notes distances to cities<br />
around the world. The view alone is worth<br />
a visit and, because the 10-km road goes<br />
right to the summit, almost anyone can get<br />
there to enjoy it. Watch for marmots and<br />
pikas on Keno Hill—there are few places in<br />
the <strong>Yukon</strong> where you can easily observe<br />
these animals.<br />

Mayo Riverfront<br />
Here visitors find viewing platforms, a<br />
commemorative cairn and riverfront trails<br />
along the Mayo and Stewart rivers. The<br />
2.5-km Prince of Wales Trail starts at Binet<br />
House Museum and connects to the Trans<br />
Canada Trail system. In summer, Stewart<br />
Landing upriver is busy with float planes<br />
ferrying travellers to and from the<br />
backcountry. Across the Stewart River, the<br />
First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun is doing<br />
restoration work at its old village site, with<br />
tours planned for the future.<br />
