All about Whitehorse
Located along the scenic shores of the Yukon River, Whitehorse is the capital of the Yukon territory and its pristine wilderness. Gold prospectors from the Klondike Gold Rush gave the city its name, attributing it to the nearby white water rapids that reminded them of a white horse’s flowing mane. The river is now home to a fish ladder, where you can head to the indoor or outdoor viewing galleries to watch the spectacular sight of chinook salmon passing safely up the river. You can also paddle the waters and breathe in some of the cleanest air in the world.
Marked trails follow the river’s course and guide you into the surrounding countryside, where you can cross-country ski in the winter. The multi-use Dawson Overland Trail is a favourite that follows an old stagecoach route. Downtown, you’ll find independent shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars. An official rule states that buildings can be no more than four storeys high, so you’ll always have views of the breathtaking landscape with evergreen forests and endless mountains stretching into the distance. The city’s pride in the culture and heritage of the First Nations is visible in the 11-foot healing totem pole in the heart of town, and at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre celebrating the Kwanlin Dün First Nation.
