Whitehorse is the territory’s travel hub—a must-stop for those driving the Alaska Highway and the first taste of the Yukon for visitors arriving by air. Those who are driving find the sky’s the limit. Less than an hour—in various directions—are the refreshing hot springs, the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, the much-photographed Emerald Lake, and numerous wilderness tour operators eager to share their Yukon with you. Travel a bit farther and you’ll be able to enter Alaska or British Columbia—but we highly recommend exploring the other captivating regions of the Yukon first.
