Canada Road Trip: Best Things To Do In The Yukon

- In this video, we share some of the best things to do in the Yukon, including Whitehorse, Dawson, Kluane National Park, and more!
Welcome to the Yukon!
Known for its dramatic landscapes, vast wilderness, and the famous Klondike Gold Rush, the Yukon has been capturing people's imaginations for years. With four-legged creatures far outnumbering humans, Canada's tallest mountain peaks, and the world's largest non-polar glacier, the Yukon is a true paradise for adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts.
We started our journey in Whitehorse, the Yukon's capital city. From here, we toured the SS Klondike, ate some delicious food in Whitehorse's oldest buildings, saw heaps of wildlife, and caught a glimpse of the Northern Lights. We then went to Dawson, the worlds most famous gold rush town. While walking around the old boardwalk streets was incredible enough, we also went gold panning, toured the massive dredge #4, watched a Cancan show at the oldest casino in the country, and took a river cruise on a paddle-wheeler. We then drove up the infamous Dempster Highway all the way to Eagle Plains, past the Arctic Circle and into the Northwest Territories. After coming back and spending another night in Dawson, we drove to Kluane National Park for one of the most epic flightseeing tours we've ever experienced.
We explored the Yukon from August 16 - September 6th, 2017!

We will drive to and through every driveable province and territory, showcasing Canada's natural beauty and regional attractions while interviewing Canadians of all cultures and backgrounds, including local celebrities, immigrants, refugees, and everyday rural and urban Canadians. Our aim is to dig deep into what makes Canada such an incredibly inspiring country while showing off the best of Canada's tourism to Canadians and to the world.

Excellent video! I don't watch youtube much but I'm subscribing this one. And I'm inspired to try a road trip this summer. Thank you for the sharings. Just wonder where you guys lived during the trip.
Thanks Sunny! Glad you like our videos :) Road trips are awesome, even if you don't go all that far. We lived in hotels during this trip. We did some camping but mostly hotels because of all the video gear. Our home city is Calary.
Must Do Canada Thank you for the quick response. Great job, and good luck!
Beautiful Canada..I love this country very much..Love from Pakistan
GAGGED at the toe part. Otherwise AMAZING video!!!!
haha looks worse than it is :)
Hermoso Los paisages de ese Pais
Muy Lindo y pais muy tranquilo
Donde LA gente no descriminan a nadie
umm cuidado con lo que dices sin saber. No he sido mas que discriminadoen 3 anos aqui y los negros aqui ni se diga. que no te lo cuenten ven a ver la realidad
los paisajes si son bellisimos
pero la gente es otra historia
This is cool because reading about the Yukon I thought it was a place to visit for only a day. So much more to do 👍🏾
Yeah, so much to do! As long as you like the outdoors! :)
Oh man, you have no idea how big the Yukon is... there’s so much to do, I’m going on 15 years now
a day??? I guess if you only planned on sitting at the airport maybe.
Wow I love these place good sharing friend
Good industry animal more
That human toe thing is just wrong!
so gross
CANNIBALL
Apparently a US tourist swallowed the toe (against the rules) so they had to source a new toe. They received 'donations'.
Nah nothing wrong with it
@@GoWestYoungMan *what.*
Thanks a lot. This is the second posting of you about Canada. You have done a great job in more details. welldone.
Thank you! We have 20 videos or so. Check them out :)
nice vidéo to looking the yukon..it's very wild and amazing.......
More wolves than people they say :)
I'm planning a second driving trip across Canada. I wish I had this series of videos before my first trip. Now I know of all these new places to see on the upcoming trip. This really was a beautiful series and so well done. Complements to the photographer/editor too. I enjoyed this so much. Finding objective travel information is so difficult. I sure wish you would dip south and do a similar series of the states in the US. Travel information here is so piecemeal it's really difficult to plan a road trip. Again, thanks for an amazing journey. O Canada!
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words. We're glad you liked it and we hope to produce many more. We'd love to come down to the US for a series as well...that would be really cool :) If you end up on our website, let us know what you'd like to see :)
I would love to visit north canada, after this video i am sure about it, I didn’t know that we can see the nordic lights in canada 🇨🇦 , thanks for sharing.
That's awesome! Yes, Canada is one of the best places to see the Northern Lights. Top spots are typically, the Yukon, NWT, and Nunavut, but also Northern Alberta, BC, Manitoba, and Quebec
Funniest looking Caribou ive ever seen lol. Y’all sure that wasn’t a mule deer?
I can feel the chill even sitting here in India
Glad to hear :)
Fantastic!
U guys rock....love from Pakiatan
God. I’m glad I live in the Yukon
may I ask you what kind of job are you doing?
hii
i wana ask the same question what kind of job do you have or there is in yukon
Lucky
What about weather?
Hope I’ll go there to live and work there!
@Valdene Allison Go away Valdene. Nobody likes people like you!
@Valdene Allison wow you are an idiot! I don't think the host of these fantastic videos want your crap and hatred on here! Do you want creator to disable the comment section because of disrespectful crap like this? If this continues I am afraid that this going to happen! Keep your hate towards others to yourself!
You are more than welcome here. As someone who is a former Yukoner you would love it here
Amazing work Matt and Carla. Very beautiful and informative videos made for the travel across Canada. Love to watch more from you guys.
Thank you!!! :)
PR Mila kya ?
Great video. It's on our bucket list.
Thanks you
amazing yukon
Wow!!! It's an amazing place and awesome video!😍🔥
Thank you so much 😁
Who sponsored you?
I wanna travel to with my family the whole Great White North !
haha, well, our biggest sponsor was Best Western but we had hundreds of smaller sponsors and tourism boards helping out. It's not easy though. We already had a successful blog and past writing/social media marketing experience. We had the idea and did it during Canada150. We organizied it all and hired a videographer to record it all. So, a lot of work! Much more than a full-time job haha
Dang whose the cutie at 2:19 😊
you guys are amazing and all the videos i've watched ... incredibly covered my bucket list of interest. Canada amazingly no doubt the most beautiful country in the world. thank you!
Thank you so much Ferdinand! That means a lot to us. Hard to believe we've only scratched the surface. So much more for us to show
If youre interested in such nature, almost entirety of russia is similar experience but harder to experience it.
The Yukon was the highlight of our Canada 150 wanders. We chickened out on the Dempster figuring that it might be a bit challenging for the Roadtrek. On the other hand, we were there near the Solstice (June 10-16) so we were able to experience the "midnight sun". For the same reason, we missed out on the aurora. The best eating value in town is the casino (Diamond Tooth Gertie's). Great homemade food (including steak) at a fair price. We also fell in love with Yukon Gold beer. We need to return some time when we are not trying to hit 10 provinces and do the place more justice.
haha I was nervous of the Dempster too. And it is pretty rough. Not as bad as I imagined but still a rough ride for that length of time. We also had special permission to drive to Tuk so that's why we had to go! But yes, I need to go back for longer too. Far too rushed
go back in September, for all the fall colours. but the weather cools off dramatically by then. fewer mosquitos though also.
Some day I will visit yukon county amazing Canada...
It's a very wild spectacular place
@@MustDoCanada great
Yukon Territory ❤️
Canada is really beautiful country and Yukon is the priority to visit there.
I would love to visit the north, I just wish it wasn't so expensive to get there. The cost of going there is higher then leaving the country to go the Caribbean.
haha yeah, that's true. Although flying to Whitehorse or Yellowknife can be cheap from the West. Nunavut is insane no matter where you come from.
This is a very good video I am making plans to go over there next summer any more tips?
Awesome! Hopefully, they open up. But I can't think of anything outside of this video. Maybe do some hiking in Kluane. We didn't have time unfortunately...
we wish to see happy faces like the ones on this video host. But the reality another in the streets of Canada, all we see is unhappy faces and ignoring faces they just pretend u don't exist.
It feels so good watching your videos particularly during this time.
It's YUKON, not THE YUKON. Same with Ukraine.
I enjoyed watching this - it was very interesting. Yukon is certainly on my bucket list !
Thanks! Yeah, it's a very cool place!
Very nice video mem.
Thanks for your information about yukon
Great work! Did you also visit Nunavut?
No, it's the only territory we haven't been able to get to. For one, it's super expensive. Like more than going to Australia. And second, their tourism board seems uninterested in promoting their territory, so it's been challenging finding ways to make it work :( Would love to though
Hello, thanks for your video. I’ll stay on the channel and we’ll be friends.I've been living in Dawson City for exactly 2 months now. I think I’ll stay here for 2 years, but then I don’t know yet.🖐🖐😊😊🤝🤝🤝
it is cool to see industrial gold digger :)
hahaha for sure. Not quite as pretty
Good very good. I like Canada.👍
will have to check out these awesome sights when i co in a couple months
yes have fun!
I love such long trips. After spending 1 decade in Africa, we found of visiting different place.. Nunavat, Yellowknife, and Whitehorse are in my bucket list now..Thanks for inspiring us !!!!
Oh wow! 10 years. That's cool. We spent one month in Ethiopia and 1 months in both UGanada and Tanzania. It eas awesome
Complete erasure of Yukon First Nations life, history, realities, stories… congratulations.
Lol. We erased it? wow, didn't know we had the kind of power.
I find Canada a very scary place, but that’s part of the excitement.
Devil’s playground
Can u tell me about yukon
Is it possible to survive in winters..
I m planning to come there permanently..
Of course, there's heat everywhere! You just gotta dress warm when you're outside and it might be tough to get used to no daylight for some part of the winter but It seems that people find way to have fun during the winter plus it's a great place to see the beautiful northern lights
My subconscious mind looked at the title and saw :-
"150 Best things to do in Yukon"
Then my reaction :- 😱
I know u .....u are a jez Canadian driver subscriber 😏
@@onunkwodumebi1211 yes my buddy!
@@ukisbeggar8462 why u do u hate the UK buddy
@@onunkwodumebi1211 coz it's one of the biggest hypocrite country
@@ukisbeggar8462 why do u say it,I hate them too
One of my favorite places to camp.
We only camped one night in Kluane, but yeah, I can imagine. So much space
We are flying up for a week September 5! I’m told to beware might not want to leave
haha yes. You can always wander off into the forest and they'll never find you hah
Human toe? Da 🍴 is that. 😅
Nice video! Now I’m excited to go there
Wow I like everything about in YUKON. Some bars, casinos finding a gold, wild life ,mountains different types of roads, there are unbelievable thank you so much.
Right? It's awesome :) Glad you liked it!
No road over the mountains? You have to be airlifted?
I live there and I don't even know where that toe came from
😨I was here!?
Where I can get complete history and tourisam about Canada in books?
Hmmm, good question. I'm sure there are many but we don't have them noted yet. We will try to look
@@MustDoCanada welcome,I really enjoyed Canada through your videos.....
Kindly tell me is Yukon good city for settle parmanently??
Whitehorse is really the only city :)
@@MustDoCanada thnxx for ur reply
I like Your channel. I just found out about it today while watching a curiosity inc video where Alex met You at the Calgary TH-cam conference. You have a new subscriber
Awesome, thanks Brian. Alex has quite the fan base. It's inspiring. I forgot that he interviewed me haha
Great Sir n madam both are from
I have been only once in Whitehorse, Yukon and visited some close places like CarCross...
I want to go and stay longer definitely. I have never been in such a amazing place before.
That's awesome! We want to spend more time there too
Bonito paisaje gracias por mostrar Canada en su video saludo desde Panamá!🤗
you both have beautiful accents! , really enjoy your videos. informative and entertaining, such a pleasure to follow your adventures
Thanks so much! 😊
Canada is where assholes in helicopters makes you pull down your handmade cabin. Norwegian team of 2 tried to overwinter in Yukon. They had to demolish the cabin in 10 days after building it for 2 months. This was a reality TV show. Canada got some seriously bad reputation out of this.
one never has enough time to spend in the Yukon. one of my favourite drives, is from Whitehorse to haines junction, then down to haines, Alaska, take the ferry to skagway, Alaska, and drive back through carcross. smallest desert in the world at carcross is cool to see.
That does sound cool. We didn’t do Alaska this time but that’s something we’ll have to feature one day
Even better to bike, I did it over 8 days as a school trip, so frickin awesome
motorbike?
Must Do Canada pedal bike, you think they'd give us motorbikes on a SCHOOL trip? Lol
hah fair enough
I enjoyed watching your Yukon video. I’m sure it will help educate others about the Yukon and will help promote tourism. I was disappointed that there was no mention of the indigenous people that have lived here long before the gold rush days. Unlike the Nunavut video, which highlighted the Inuit people and culture, the Yukon video was remiss of any mention of the six indigenous groups that live here. Overall, your series beautifully captures much of what Canada has to offer.
Thanks for that. Yeah, unfortunately, none of the indigenous experiences we had planned on visiting panned out. but hopefully, we can go back and do some.
I was born and raised in Elsa Yukon. This brings back memories
Oh wow, must be beautiful
@@MustDoCanada it is very beautiful up there minus the mosquitoes which are really bad up there
@@annetteslife haha yeah I bet. Although in August we didn't notice many. Spring must be awful
Here are a few photos sent from folks across the Yukon. From Carcross to Dawson City and Whitehorse to the Ibex Valley. Thank you for sharing these with us and everyone! Keep them coming.
I visited the Yukon about 10 years ago. Loved the experience. Plan on going back again, soon.
It's so wild eh?
Haw can I Com Yukon Canada may nem Umar khaliq pram pakistan Kpk Las 24yer inth ksa carpentar experience

How to apply as a welder in yukon ihave an experience in gold mining hire in the phil how?
Que bueno
A MI me gusta LA naturaleza
La Amo. Y Amo LA gente educada. Y respetuosa y responsable
El Mundo Dios lo creo para todos Los animales y Los humanos
Nadie tiene Porque ser descriminado
Por nada......... El que humilla sera humillado El descrimina sera descriminado
Y El Dana Los sentimientos de un animal o ser humano
El ser ma's Amado o allegado tambien le volvera con LA misma moneda
Porque en este Mundo nadie se Salva
DIOS es JUSTO y misericordioso
El que hace Dano recibe lo mismo
Que dio
El desprecia recibe desprecios
El que ama recibe amor
Asi que debemos ser Buenos con todos Los animales y Los humanos para que Nos valla bien en este Mundo
Y reciba os del universo energia positiva y nos valla bien en este Mundo
oof. that toe
haha yea, I was expecting a big one though
How much money you spend on this trip?
cant remember now. Accommodation at that time was probably $200/night. The sightseeing flight was the most expensive
I wanna travel youkon please tell me the way how I can go there
Give google a try!
An American went to that same bar you went to and swallowed the toe on purpose, he was subsequently banned from the place lol! 😂😂😂
haha I heard that... and someone stole it before we got there but then sent it back
and one of the professional dogsledders, he is from Europe, he suffered frostbite in the Yukon race this year. he lost some of his toes and was going to donate them to them.
I guess Joji get inspired by being in this magical place
Yukon is huge. Can only see a small part of it in 3 weeks.
That's true. Big place. Mostly nature too
I'll go there to work someday
Plz talk about the actual road taken to get there.
This is 1 of the safest place to be durring 2021. Require to know info about bears- moose
Hmm, we don't have exact info. I don't know much about moose but they do have a lot of wolves and a lot of bears, including Zodiaks
My Grandma was born in rampart in Alaska.
anyone help to migrate there.....?
There is another place Yukoner's put that TOE. More of a winter thing that tourists are never told !!!
haha the big one or the little one?
I want to extend the study in Institute in the White horse and I hope to help me so and wait for a reply from you, Dear
which tour was it that landed you to the glacier?
Icefield Discovery
I must and will go to Canada! At least a trip, if not professional driving, through Yukon or/and NT is the goal.
We hope you do! What do you mean by professional driving? Like for work?
Yes. There are limited "Work and travel" visa for people from Czech Republic, but I haven't found driving positions among work offers. I know I am supposed to have a Canadian driving licence, which shouldn't be problem. I mean like delivery driver or taxi driver... I am former taxi, hotel and personal driver. Nowadays I have a job here at my home a nd that job is quite important for me. That's why I am still not in Canada. :D
@@benhis ahhh, okay, I see what you mean. We were in Czech back in 2015! only a few days but loved it. Hope you make it here one day
To let ya know. The highway in the NT doesn't go all the way to Inuvik it stops at Wrigley. On top of that the ice road that opens in the wintertime only, only heads up to Colville lake. But the north is untamed and vast. 😃
Yukon ❤👌
A dream trip, for sure. Probably expensive though.
Depends how you do it but yes it can be
You guys talk like you are reading a script instead of being realistic in what you are saying. How much did the government of Canada pay you for your videos?
haha all on our own. Wish we had support from the government...
I really like your style of presentation. Makes me feel like I'm almost there.
But you are brave. Human toe coctail 😬
thank you! and yes, haha, had to do it
I’m from south Texas close to the Mexican border and I would do anything to visit Yukon, I’ve never seen snow but I know that 120 degree weather pretty well
Oh wow, yeah it would be quite different. So much nature,, and you could always swing by Alaska too
4:05 where does the toe come from?
I’ve done it. I think it is not a real toe but just a tourist attraction.
hot Spainish chick and a gringo, how exotic. Hope she doesn't claim racism and oppression to get free stuff.
Sounds like you're watching too many far-right news. No one does that. Unless you're referring to the indigenous that have had their human rights removed for the last hundred years
Stawwwp, we dont want tourists
Hi it's nice to watch your vlog again. Can you tackle also in your vlog about the program of how to migrate in canada? Also cooking, houses tour in canada. Tnx
Thanks
That was so amazing
How will I live in this county
I spent some time in the Yukon too. I did travel from Whitehorse to Dawson but by canoe. That was something. The Aurora Borealis is unbelievably beautiful.
Oh wow, that sounds like quite the trip. How long does that take?
@@MustDoCanada that was 11 days by canoe but we were pressed for time - really it should be two weeks or so. It was amazing.
@@tenniswilliam Wow! The Yukon is such a wild place. I'd like to do it through Nahanni as well but with a guide. I wouldn't know what I'm doing on mu own
@@tenniswilliam what time of the year did you go on the canoe trip? Were the bugs tolerable?
@@laviniat1286 it was a long time ago but i think it was September or late August. I recall bugs not being being too bad but i would worry more about Grizzly bears. We did have a bear encounter that fortunately was not problematic but had the situation been a bit different it could have been dangerous
What month is fall in the Yukon?
Late August more or less. On the Dempster highway, it was full on fall colours and we did it late August and came back down on September 2nd.
Great video but please next time woman look in the camera lol no offense
