This group aims to provide a central source of information for travelers seeking adventure in the North. Grant's role involves marketing the Yukon as a top destination for lifetime adventure trips, from dog mushing and canoeing to hiking and Northern Lights gazing.
The Yukon, located in northwest Canada and bordering Alaska, is a land of extremes. The summer's midnight sun allows for extended days of adventure, while the winter's darkness is perfect for viewing the Northern Lights. The region's history, dating back to the 1898 gold rush, still influences its adventurous spirit. Modern amenities in Whitehorse, the capital, provide comfort without compromising the wilderness experience.
Reaching the Yukon is straightforward, with a 2.5-hour flight from Vancouver, BC, and direct flights from major Canadian cities and Germany. The Alaska Highway offers a scenic road trip, while The Dempster Highway promises breathtaking vistas. The best time to visit depends on the desired experiences, such as summer adventures or winter Northern Lights.
