The westernmost of Canada’s territories, Yukon is mostly Arctic and subarctic—with long, severe winters and short summers. It’s a major destination for mountaineering; Mount Logan, in Kluane National Park and Reserve, is Canada’s highest mountain and the second-highest in North America. Its stunning natural beauty makes Yukon a major destination for adventurous tourists.
Yukon is thinly populated, especially in the northern areas, leaving its natural environment almost pristine. Active retirees can hire a guide and take an unforgettable fishing, camping, or hunting expedition into the wilderness. Outdoor activities in the Yukon range from boating and kayaking to cross-country skiing in the backcountry, ice climbing, mountaineering, and dog sledding.
