SOUTHERN LAKES<br />
PLAN<br />
AURORA<br />
FALL GETAWAY<br />
3 DAYS<br />
Yukoners know that autumn<br />
can be the best time of year<br />
for viewing northern lights.<br />
Enjoy crisp days strolling riverside<br />
trails lined in fall colour, and<br />
spend nights watching the dancing<br />
aurora reflected in Yukon lakes.<br />
Day 2 – Parade of Colour<br />
Southern Yukon is awash in fall colour,<br />
so spend a day exploring historic, scenic<br />
Carcross. Try some gentle hiking or mountain<br />
biking, watch for wildlife and visit local<br />
attractions. You might want to squeeze in<br />
a nap to prepare for another night watching<br />
for the northern lights.<br />
Visit artisan studios to learn about Tlingit carving – YG, C. Archbould<br />
Day 3 – Discover<br />
Yukon Arts and Culture<br />
Late nights are part of the aurora experience<br />
in Yukon, so start your day slowly in a<br />
Whitehorse café. Wander through galleries,<br />
visit a museum, and keep an eye out for a<br />
special piece of Yukon art to take home.<br />
Day 1 –<br />
Southern Lakes Hospitality<br />
Settle in to your cabin, inn or B&B, then<br />
venture into the “world’s smallest desert.”<br />
Explore the dunes and fascinating ecology<br />
of Carcross Desert. You’ll spot some of the<br />
unique plants that survive in this arid and<br />
windy environment. Stop at Emerald<br />
(Blue Lake) and Spirit lakes to see the<br />
stunning hue. Join a scheduled aurora tour<br />
or discover our dark skies on your own.<br />
