Are there any visits from Aurora yet?. Wheaton River, Yukon

In the northern part of Canada lies Yukon, a land steeped in history and rugged landscapes. The territory gets its name from the Gwich'in word Yu-kun-ah, meaning 'great river'. The Klondike Gold Rush of 1896 brought the region to prominence, attracting countless fortune seekers looking for riches in the wilds of the area. In the second-least-populated territory of the country after Nunavut, visitors to Yukon can explore gold rush towns, delve into museums showcasing indigenous art, and attend annual events.

The Wheaton River, a narrow stream flowing through the Yukon Valley, adds to the region's beauty. While here, outdoor enthusiasts can take up activities like kayaking, dog sledding, hiking and skiing. Did you know that you glaze at the Northern Lights here? If you want to see the aurora borealis, plan your trip for between September and mid-April!
