Self-Drive: The Highlights of Yukon and Alaska
15 days starting from £1936 per person
Yukon Holidays
With a proud and visible First Nation heritage, the Yukon is a vast and wild territory located between British Columbia and Alaska. Due to its small and dispersed population, the Yukon is home to numerous excellent reserves and parks. These help to maintain and protect the region’s pristine environment and harbour an exceptional variety of animals and birds. Yukon is also synonymous with the Klondike Gold Rush and many places associated with this historic event remain. Due to the long distances and isolated locations, hiring a car is the best way to get around this rugged region. Travel the Klondike highway, pan for gold in Dawson City, soar by plane above the glacial peaks of impressive Mount Logan in Kluane National Park and stop for a scenic photo of Emerald Lake. Wildlife enthusiasts will be able to search for bear, elk, moose and caribou and, if you visit the Yukon from late August to mid-April, your chances of seeing the mesmerising aurora borealis are also very high.
