What you’ll do

Winters in the Yukon are such a unique experience. Northern winters can be cold but with that comes great beauty like the frosted landscapes and northern lights. This itinerary will help you make the most of the short daylight we get during this season and will allow you to take in a variety of winter activities. There's something for everyone and allows you to step outside of your comfort zone however far you're willing. Enjoy the relaxed pace of northern winters and embrace the coziness!

You will need to rent a car, I would recommend looking at Driving Force because they are well equipped for our snowy roads.

Welcome to Whitehorse! Today you will to go on scenic little road trip to a charming town called Carcross. Along the way you might see caribou and you'll definitely get mountain views. Do some relaxed exploring and sightseeing. You can venture further down the South Klondike Highway past Carcross to the Whitepass (Fraser Border) and turn around whenever you'd like if you'd like extend it, the mountains continue to get more spectacular in that direction but the weather can be dicey. Come back to Whitehorse from warm meal and then get ready to go out chasing the northern lights if the weather is looking clear!
