A large province in the North-Western region of Canada,
the Yukon is a wild and remote place with a rich heritage dating back
to the gold rush of the 1800s. Best visited during the long summer months,
the Yukon is very much an ‘outdoors destination’. Ideal for
self- driving, the roads are easy to negotiate, just look out for moose,
caribou and sometimes bears along the way. Head north and cross the Arctic
Circle, go west for a visit to neighbouring Alaska or drive south-westwards
and include a visit to the stunning Kluane National Park. Covering a
huge area, this vast park has at its heart one of the world’s largest
non-polar icefields. A naturalist’s paradise this is a true wilderness
destination with a great proliferation of wildlife.
Canada is all about the great outdoors. Explore the Rocky Mountains
and experience great wildlife in dramatic wilderness locations.
Eastern Canada is beautiful during the autumnal months, head north
to Churchill in October for the mysterious Northern Lights and the
ever inquisitive Polar Bear.
