This huge park is well-known for its fantastic scenic landscape and its excellent opportunities for recreational activities.

If you’re driving the Alaska Highway along Kluane National Park, take the time to stop at the small centre at the base of Sheep Mountain, near the bridge across the Slims River. Amazing mountain views, and a good chance of seeing Dall’s sheep on the slopes. The Centre at Haines Junction is also worth a visit, with lots of info on First Nations history and the St. Elias mountains. Kudos to Parks Canada for emphasizing hiking safety and awareness in this wilderness bear country.

Was only there for a short day trip and there was cloud cover, but you can’t hide the beauty! A nice easy hike, a picnic in an enclosed space with a nice fire and views in any direction. I’d like to make it back some day in August or September. If you’re as far north as Dawson City, it’d be a shame to miss this. The Dempster Highway is also an impressive feat. We crossed the continental divide and went as far as Two Moose Lake - the Arctic Circle was so close and yet so far.

Must do in Dawson. Spectacular view of Dawson and beyond. We will be back to see the Northern lights (if we get a clear night).
4. Dawson City Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 217 reviews
This museum documents the history of Dawson City, with an emphasis on the Gold Rush era.
Reviewed By JenniferandAlan - Easton, United States
The museum is housed in the Old Territorial Administration Building so your history lesson begins even before entering. The exhibits take you from prehistory through the Gold Rush. You learn how the lives of the First Nations people were changed by the fur trade then by the Gold Rush. The story of the Gold Rush is told through the stampeders, the entrepreneurs, and the soiled doves. The history of Dawson City from tent town to the Paris of the North is portrayed through exhibits. The use of the many mannequins dressed in the clothing of the time being part of the exhibits instead of just using the furniture really brings the era to life. Take your time to read the descriptions to really get a feel for the times. As a newly minted senior, I found I was really interested in the "artifacts" as I had used several of them myself. Don't miss the court room upstairs. Enjoy!

Saw this briefly as oart of a city tour ru by Northern Tales. Not much to see but fascination that it is so long, but at least Whitehorse has made the effort to help salmon migrate. Sad to hear that there are so fewer salmon around these days.

Kathleen Lake was one of the top highlights of our visit to the Yukon. We loved it so much we went back 3 times in 2 days. There is camping on-site, but we were just there for the view as this was a photo trip. Kathleen Lake did not disappoint.
