    Whitehorse

    Whitehorse was founded during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1896-1898, when over 30,000 prospectors braved the wild Klondike River on their way to Dawson City. Its name comes from the foaming white river rapids.
    With a current population of 20,000, today Whitehorse is the political, distribution, communication and transportation centre of the Yukon Territory.
    The scenery surrounding Whitehorse is breath-taking and there is much to see. Within the town there is the Yukon Arts Centre, the Yukon Transportation Museum, and MacBride Museum.
    Two 'must-dos' are a visit to the Whitehorse Fishway - view the fish through underwater windows - and take a trip on the Yukon River Cruise.

    Dawson City

    Dawson City was the focus of the Klondike Gold Rush of 1896-1898. Today a visit to this town of 2,000 enables you to relive these exciting times.
    Many historic buildings remain from the early days. Visit the Commissioner's Residence and the Dawson City Museum.You can also see the Robert Service Cabin, or the Jack London Cabin and Interpretive Centre.
    Take in a show at the Palace Grand Theatre or at Diamond Tooth Gertie's Gambling Hall. See the SS Keno National Historic Site, one of the last sternwheelers to sail on the Yukon River.
    To learn the story of the gold rush first hand, go south of town to Bonanza Creek Discovery Claim.
