About Whitehorse
Whitehorse, Yukon is a dynamic and captivating city situated in the southern Yukon along the banks of the Yukon River, approximately 1,500 kilometres northwest of Vancouver and 900 kilometres southeast of Fairbanks, Alaska, and serves as the capital and by far the largest city of the Yukon Territory — home to roughly three-quarters of the entire territorial population — making it the smallest provincial or territorial capital in Canada by population yet one of the most dramatically situated, with a stunning setting of river valley, boreal forest, and mountain wilderness that gives daily life in Whitehorse a sense of frontier grandeur that is simply impossible to replicate in the south.
Whitehorse owes its modern existence to two transformative moments in northern history — the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898, which sent tens of thousands of fortune seekers through the region via the legendary White Pass and Chilkoot Trail routes, and the construction of the Alaska Highway during the Second World War, which connected Whitehorse to the continental road network and established it as the permanent administrative and commercial hub of the Yukon.
The city sits beneath the auroral oval and is one of the finest and most accessible destinations in the world for viewing the northern lights, drawing visitors from Japan, Europe, and beyond each winter to witness the aurora borealis dancing above the Yukon River valley in a spectacle of colour and movement that has made Whitehorse one of Canada's most sought-after winter destinations.
Top attractions include the MacBride Museum of Yukon History, the remarkable S.S. Klondike National Historic Site — a beautifully restored Yukon River sternwheeler that evokes the golden age of river travel — the Miles Canyon scenic area along the Yukon River, the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre exploring the extraordinary Ice Age history of the region, and world-class outdoor recreation including hiking, skiing, dog sledding, and paddling in a wilderness setting of breathtaking scale and beauty.
The nearby Kluane National Park and Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site encompassing the largest non-polar icefields in the world, is one of the great wilderness destinations on earth.
With its extraordinary Gold Rush heritage, spectacular aurora viewing, world-class wilderness access, and a frontier spirit that feels authentic and alive in every season, Whitehorse is a northern Canadian capital of rare and compelling distinction.
