Things to Do in Yukon, area by area

Canada's tallest peaks, the largest non-polar icefields on Earth, and grizzly-dense valleys within a two-hour drive of Whitehorse.

2,200 square kilometres of jagged granite spires, permafrost tundra and Beringian wildlife along the Dempster Highway.

The 'ice bears' of the Fishing Branch — grizzlies that fish chum salmon in an unfrozen river while covered head to toe in hoarfrost.

A roadless Arctic park protecting the Porcupine caribou calving grounds and the wild Firth River, reachable only by bush plane.

A 4,345 sq km roadless wilderness of Beringian tundra and the Old Crow Flats, co-managed with the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation.

Yukon's only Arctic Ocean island, a 19th-century American whaling station and now a climate-change frontline eroding into the sea.

A rare set of active tufa terraces — travertine 'staircases' formed by mineral springs — in a remote corner of the southeast Yukon.

A newer 767 sq km park of quiet boreal lakes and moose meadows co-established with Carcross/Tagish First Nation.

A 3,100 sq km glacial lake and mountain park an hour west of Whitehorse — the classic Yukon paddle and campground.
