Klondike
Follow the North Klondike Highway deep into the heart of the Klondike.
Two Northern Tutchone First Nation communities, Carmacks and Pelly
Crossing, welcome visitors along the way. Lively Dawson city still evokes
feelings of a golden era when thousands of hopeful gold seekers poured
into the Klondike in search of riches.
Take a step into history by
visiting Dawson city. Dawson city became a bustling commercial centre
during the height of the gold Rush. For a time, it was the largest city
north of San Francisco and west of Winnipeg. Dawson served as the capital
of the Yukon Territory until 1953. In 1959, the Dawson Historical Complex
was declared a national histoic site of Canada. Walking among the
carefully restored buildings with costumed interpreters will take you back
in history.
