Welcome to Yukon.

Yukon takes its name from the GWICH'IN name Yu-kun-ah for the "great river" which drains most of its area.

It is found in the northwestern corner of Canada's continental mainland, isolated by rugged mountains, and shares a common border and many characteristics with its American neighbour, Alaska.

Historically, it is famous for the great KLONDIKE GOLD RUSH, but now is very popular as a tourist destination for more than just it's history. Yukon is one of the very few, truly remote and wild places in Canada.
