Yukon Territory

The Yukon marked the 100th anniversary of the Klondike Gold Rush in 1998, but this land of mighty rivers, gold rush memories, and countless wilderness valleys continues to hold the promise of adventure for today’s outdoors people.

It’s easy to see how Jack London was inspired to write Call of the Wild during his stay here.

Yukon offers a colorful history and a promising future for outdoor enthusiasts. Trophy fishing and hunting opportunities abound, and nature reigns in the territory that includes Kluane National Park, pristine glaciers, and the mighty Yukon River.

The Yukon presents a major challenge to modern technology because of the existence of permanently frozen earth, known as permafrost, which lies just below the ground surface. Permafrost blankets the Arctic zones and extends into many southern parts of the Yukon. Any warmth, whether from household heating or spells of mild weather, is likely to melt the top layers of the permafrost. As a result, roadbeds and building foundations have to be insulated from the permafrost to prevent them from sinking.
