NORTHERN AND<br />
ARCTIC<br />
land of the midnight sun<br />
If you want the true northern experience, North Yukon and Yukon’s Arctic<br />
region is about as far as you can go. The stark beauty of Canada’s most<br />
accessible Arctic is protected within five wilderness parks and largely<br />
encompasses the range of the barren-ground Porcupine caribou herd. In<br />
spring, thousands of caribou and migratory birds return to have their young,<br />
and by fall the land is ablaze with crimson, orange and gold. Home of the<br />
Gwich’in, Hän, Inuvialuit and Northern Tutchone peoples, North Yukon also<br />
boasts the only Canadian highway that crosses the Arctic Circle—the<br />
Dempster Highway.<br />
