Canada is still a country where it is possible to run into an animal when one is crossing the road or walking leisurely in a town. It is also not uncommon to find a husky dog, while completing breakfast at a cafe.

Yukon is situated at Canada’s northern most point and it is a land of mountains and forests. Even though, the region is as big as California, it has a population of over 30,000 people, which is very less. This means that it has only one person as compared to 1,000 in California.

While winters can be long and fierce with very low temperatures, the summer season is ideal for visiting this region. The summer season has warm weather, which is excellent for travelling. Even though Yukon is a very beautiful place, few tourists visit this beautiful region, despite it being very affordable and full of surprises.

The region was made famous by the Klondike gold rush of 1898. Whitehorse is the ideal place to start the journey. The chance of riding on Yukon Route should not be missed, which is one of the world’s oldest narrow-gauge railways. These trains have been running since the Gold Rush times and still remain popular.

Dawson City is also a great place to visit and one can witness amazing scenery on the way there. However, there are very few places to eat and get fuel, so it is better to be prepared and pack in everything one needs.

Visitors must visit The Dome, a hill which provides a panoramic view of the whole Dawson City.
