This a very cool place in the Yukon, only accessible by boat or plane. Located in the traditional territory of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, it has the world famous Porcupine Caribou herd that migrate in the area. The old St Luke's Anglican church was built in 1959 and the Memorial church was built in 1926. The beautiful Porcupine River passes through this cozy town, and nearby, there's the...

This may not be a Yukon historic site, but is still a important site of the north. Fort Seward, also known as Chilkoot Barracks was completed in 1904 and it was the only military base in Alaska until 1940. The first building was the barracks, then the hospital, the First Nations building then finally the old foundation of the burnt up barracks. For more content like this, subscribe!!

Again, another great video, showing a landmark site rich in history. Love the music you chose to accompany this wonderful video. Thanks for sharing, Taiga.
Taiga, thanks for posting this great performance by the talented Taiko Yukon group, one of the members being your dear mother! Great venue, the Transportion Museum in Whitehorse, to host this group.
I read about this place in a book of Alaska and Yukon ghost stories I bought in Skagway Alaska.
Beautiful. Hopefully I can visit the Jackson Lake area someday.
Awesome, beautiful video.
Awesome video and what a spectacular view! Thanks for sharing, Taiga.
Another "gem" of a video, Taiga. So beautiful this region of The Yukon. (Side note: I love this musical piece you chose to accompany your wonderful video!!)
doesn't get any better than this..."tip of the hat"
Thank you! Gotta to love the natural beauty of the Yukon. Doesn’t get any better!
These trees down on the Haines highway?
@@mackjenner4965 Yes it is!! It’s just down Mush Lake Road. Great place to ski in the winter, and hike or bike in the summer!
Love old buildings, too, and to find them "still standing". If these walls could talk, the stories they could tell....the rich history of The Yukon. I always love visiting Whitehorse and all its amenities; I think a lot of Canadians and tourists from around the world are quite taken aback when they visit Whitehorse and what it has to offer. Thanks Taiga for another great video of "your city"....beautiful Whitehorse❤👏❤
Not only was this a great, informative video for snowshoe athletes/users, but the scenery of the beautiful Yukon Territory takes my breath away. Looks like that fresh snow is fantastic for snowshoe practice in preparation for competition in the Arctic Winter Games happening in Alaska this year. Good luck Taiga in your snowshoe competition and to all of Team Yukon athletes. Thanks for posting this video, Taiga. Oh my gosh, you are so blessed to live in such a beautiful part of Canada. Again, the beauty of those wide, open spaces in The Yukon is second to none!
You’ll have do one for -41 degrees in a couple days!!
LOVELY! and so informativve! Thank you!
Thank you very much!! More videos like this coming your way!!
Yep....this was a bit of a chilly day for this Old Grams🥶 But, it does look pretty❤
WOW....what an awesome fireworks display👏👏👏well-done Whitehorse♥️👏♥️👏♥️👏♥️
As always, another great video. Thanks for.posting this video, Taiga, on a great historical lodge. Here's hoping it can be restored!❤
Hello from Watson Lake! That is SO nice! Good luck on your project eh?
Thank you very much!! Nice to hear from some fellow Yukoners!!!
Are you going to fix up the lodge and open it again?
Thanks for watching Age!! Fixing it up is the hope!!! Opening is another thing. I guess we’ll see where the road will take us!!
I remember that place from when I was in Alaska and Yukon with my parents in 1994. I wanted to buy it at the time. I still do. There’s something magical about it. Good luck with your project. If you get tired of it let me know though.
I love this "Old Log Church"; craftmanship is wonderful and has been beautifully maintained. Loved going to their Christmas Crafts display/sales in times past. Thanks for posting this great video, Taiga.
A "work in progress" restoring Dezadeash Lodge back to its original glory! Good luck guys!
Where is it? Longitude and latitude?
Here's the coordinates according to google maps 61°35'28.9"N 134°53'40.8"W. It's on Shipyard Island near where the Yukon River and the Teslin River meet. Hopefully that will help you out!!
A busy day at the cabin taking care of those snowshoes with winter fast approaching, and practice season for the Arctic Winter Games ahead as well, Taiga. Always good to maintain "authentic" items like these gems made in Canada. Thanks for posting this video, Taiga, and hope you have great conditions on those trails this winter for snowshoeing!
Good information to know. I wish I knew this back when I was a kid, before my strings broke.
Wow, great performance from this talented Taiko group in Whitehorse, Yukon. Thanks for sharing this video, Taiga. Hope to see them perform live when I visit the beautiful Far North.
Looks like they're having fun😁😁 Got some talent there!
Yeah and that was two years ago! They're even better now with more songs with also new members.
Oh, if these "walls could talk", eh Taiga. It is a shame that these old structures are vandalized. I love the music you chose, Taiga, to accompany your video. Thanks again, for sharing this video.
Cool to find these places. Too bad they get vandalized😞
This is super sad I was there in 2004 it was a booming tourist stop.
It's A OK! This is actually in the off season. Tourism is back in the Yukon not quite as busy.
I did hear the RR truss was remade. Not sure how I feel about that. I have to admit it was cool. I do recall its a short drive from Skagway where a huge amounts of people are pulled from cruise ships. We did it with another couple, rented a jeep and spent the day bumming. Crossing back in to Alaska was fun.. NOT.
@@pugz910 Don't know if it was open in 2004, but the Caribou Hotel (the big blue hotel) has been restored and the bar is now open. There's also a new business area for small companies and shops. Sounds like quite an adventure you had when you came up here in the Yukon! I'm sure it's changed a decent bit since you visited the area. Maybe one day you'll visit again this beautiful territory!
@@TaigaoftheYukon You're so right, Taiga...The Yukon is a beautiful territory....wide, open spaces and so much to explore. I really enjoy these videos you take time to post. Your videos make us so aware of the rich history that The Yukon is all about. Thanks for sharing, Taiga.
Looks like to a great place to visit and explore!
A cool look at history 😁
Great video, Taiga. Still so much to explore in the vastness of The Yukon Territory. Love the music you chose for this video. Thanks for sharing....keep exploring!
Back in the late 60's I worked in Alaska firefighting and met a guy there, a Brit who found a $20.00 gold piece stuck in a crack in one of those old boats decking.
Wow, thanks for sharing this awesome story!
What happened there?!
Not too certain, but I've heard that the owners passed away and unfortunately nobody took care of it. The Yukon wilderness is quite harsh and ruthless so even just a decade of no upkeep can put buildings in disrepair.
Ok thnku for your reply
@@user-xl8jd9py9f No problem. Thank you for watching!
Actually PRIVATE property... was abandoned by previous (original) owners family and locals took it upon themselves to 'claim' anything worth stealing, and leaving the house open to the elements and wildlife to destroy. (hence the torn out door frame to the bathroom. someone wanted the shower enclosure) Three wood stoves were taken and the chimney pipes were left open for the snow and rain to destroy the structure...
@@shiroumakai Thanks for the clarification. I've always wondered why such an amazing property was abandoned. It's too bad that it was ravaged by scavengers, but also the rugged forest and wildlife of the Yukon. Such a beautiful part of the world, vast and filled with history. We are truly blessed to be living in such a wonderful territory!!
Cool
Wow very cool thanks for the video very enjoyable to watch
Thank you for the compliments! There's definitely more restoring/repairing videos to come!!
That's pretty cool to see😁
Thanks again for watching Age's Adventures! If you ever go to Dawson City, this is definitely a must see!
With Hallowe'en fast approaching, I'm getting a "haunted vibe" from this video....kind of spooky, eh! If these walls could talk......what would they say!!!
Looks like a nice spot. I wonder why it got abandoned.
Thanks for watching! For years I saw this structure while driving by, but never checked it out until recently. My guess is that it's either a trappers cabin or it may have housed employees of Jake's Corner (a gas station now closed nearby). The latter seems more possible though. It would be awesome to know more about the history of the building.
OMG Taiga!!! That grizzly looks awesome but "huge"! Look how quickly he ran....they move too fast for comfort! Could you outrun a grizzly...if you had to....Yikes!! This is quite the video you managed to film ...how lucky you are to live in the beautiful, wide, open spaces of the majestic Yukon Territory. Doesn't get better than this, eh!! Thanks for posting this amazing video!
Well done
Thank you very much! It was definitely a fun project to do and I'm glad that we were able to save it.
When are we going to go for a sauna?
@@mackjenner4965 Maybe next year 👀?!
@@TaigaoftheYukonHopefully, it’d be awesome!
Great video! I'd like to visit some day and explore there.
Thank you! So much history in Dawson City and so much to uncover. I definitely recommend spending a couple days there because there's so much to see and do.
@@TaigaoftheYukon thanks for the tip on the amount of time to spend there.
It looks like a beautiful spot! It's nice to see that they are trying to preserve it.
That's a cool looking cabin and a great spot to live!
Yeah it sure is a awesome looking rustic cabin. My family actually owns a property near this area and it's some beautiful country. This cabin is in the Kluane National Park region which contains some of the highest peaks in North America and has vast lands of forests. It really is one of Canada's best kept secrets!
@@TaigaoftheYukon you're lucky to have property there😁
Love this video Taiga. You're so lucky to live in the beautiful Yukon Territory with it's wide, open spaces and wildlife; one can never get bored living in the beautiful Far North!
Wow, well-done fellows...looks great. Always good to see "a work in progress" and the finished restoration; so good to see folk restore old structures. I see Yukon's "Bobbi" supervising and watching out for any grizzlies lurking around Dezadeash. Thanks Taiga for posting your video....beautiful area in The Yukon.
How lucky you were, Taiga, to spend a few weeks in Haida Gwaii. Looks like a special place with a very diverse landscape. Love your photos that you put together in this "short" film. Caught that beautiful rainbow near the end, and love the fall colours...you went at a great time of the year! Thank-you for sharing.
It's appreciated that they are working on restabilizing this great historical site in The Yukon. Interesting that it was in operation as recently as 1983! Thanks for sharing your video, Taiga.
Yeah, they started last year and I guess it will also continue next year. It's really awesome to see that they're putting time and effort to restabilize this historical site and hopefully they do that with other historical structures.
Awesome video, Taiga. I feel so lucky to have visited Dawson on 2 occasions. Such a rich history it holds and fascinates so many visitors. For the townsite to become part of the Tr'ondek-Klondike UNESCO World Heritage Site just this year (2023) is very special.
What a beautiful region Kluane is in the wide, open spaces of The Yukon Territory. How blessed Elder Jimmy Kane was if he did live to be 110 years. It must have something to do with the clean air and water to be found in the beautiful Far North. So amazing that his cabin is still to be found, sheltered among the trees, so many years later. This great video with calming music makes one slow down and appreciate nature.
Another interesting video from you, Taiga. I always enjoy your videos and knowledge about the beautiful Yukon Territory. Always look forward to visiting this part of Canada that not too many get the opportunity to do. I was so fortunate to live there for 2 years. Can't wait to visit you soon again. So many interesting trails and history to explore in this vast Territory of Canada. Keep trekkin', keep exploring this beautiful gem of a Territory, Taiga.
Another great video produced by Taiga. I love this video of a bygone era when Paddlewheelers navigated the rivers of the beautiful Yukon Territory. What a rich history The Yukon Territory has, and how lucky you are to live there, Taiga. Thank-you for making these wonderful videos and sharing them. Look forward to visiting The Yukon, and you soon.
