KLONDIKE iconic gold rush history<br />

In August of 1896, American prospector George Carmack, his Tagish First<br />

Nation wife Kate, her brother Skookum Jim, and Dawson Charlie found gold<br />

in the wild North. A national historic site, Dawson City still evokes the<br />

heartbeat of the greatest gold rush in history, with its boardwalks and<br />

vintage false-front buildings. There’s a reason Dawson City is an in-demand<br />

location for both film and television. The communities along the North<br />

Klondike Highway are a treasure trove of authentic Yukon culture and<br />

off-the-beaten-path adventure. For many visitors, discovering the<br />

Klondike is essential to their Yukon experience.<br />
