GRAND TOUR
7 DAYS
Take the road trip of a lifetime
to see the Yukon’s memorable
places by connecting the Alaska,
Top of the World and North
Klondike highways. You’ll visit
national historic sites, attractions
and wilderness parks, meet extraordinary
people and see
plenty of wildlife.
Day 1 –
Road Trip ‘Round the Yukon
Pick up your RV or car rental in Whitehorse,
load up with provisions, and find travel
information and road updates at the
Yukon Visitor Information Centre.
Day 2 – Kluane-bound
Hit the highway to Kluane Country, perhaps
with side trips to Kusawa (Nekhu Mǟn) and
Aishihik (Äshèyi) lakes for excellent fishing,
camping and off-the-main-road solitude.
Days 3 and 4 – Explore
the Kluane Front Ranges
Watch for bears, moose and sheep in this
wild, scenic region. Visit attractions
including the Visitor Information Centres in
Haines Junction and Beaver Creek. Stop in
at the Thachäl Dhäl (Sheep Mountain) Visitor
Centre and view the all-white Dall sheep
that live on the slopes above, then relax in
the region’s campgrounds. Fill your days
with wildlife viewing, walks and cultural
experiences.
Day 5 –
To the Top of the World
Follow the Alaska Highway beneath majestic
mountains across the border to the Taylor
Highway Junction then head north to the
scenic Top of the World Highway—don’t
forget your passport and check border
crossing hours in advance. You’ll return to
the Yukon and re-enter Canada, then hop
the free ferry across the Yukon River to
historic Dawson City.
Days 6 and 7 –
Discover Dawson
Stroll the boardwalk-lined streets of
Dawson City and immerse yourself
in the Klondike Gold Rush. Finish
your vacation back in Whitehorse.
