Canada Road Trip: Best Things To Do In The Yukon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2017
- 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!
It feels so good watching your videos particularly during this time.
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.
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!!! :)

Oh wow! 10 years. That's cool. We spent one month in Ethiopia and 1 months in both UGanada and Tanzania. It eas awesome
Bonito paisaje gracias por mostrar Canada en su video saludo desde Panamá!🤗
Beautiful Great to see Yukon 👍
I enjoyed watching this - it was very interesting. Yukon is certainly on my bucket list !
Thanks! Yeah, it's a very cool place!
Canada is really beautiful country and Yukon is the priority to visit there.
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.
I visited the Yukon about 10 years ago. Loved the experience. Plan on going back again, soon.
It's so wild eh?
Great video. It's on our bucket list.
Fantastic!
The air is so clean and healthy there
Yukon ❤👌
Amazing awesome, mind blowing! Seems as mountains bathed in milk. Preserving nature is a must and they do it. Hats off to the Government. TNX to u both.💝💝
Great video, thanks for sharing. 🐸🐾🇨🇦
Wow I love these place good sharing friend
Good industry animal more
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!
Good very good. I like Canada.👍
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
will have to check out these awesome sights when i co in a couple months
yes have fun!
One of my favorite places to camp.
We only camped one night in Kluane, but yeah, I can imagine. So much space
That was so amazing
nice vidéo to looking the yukon..it's very wild and amazing.......
More wolves than people they say :)
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.
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?
Nice video! Now I’m excited to go there
Love your youkon city ❤❤
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 :)
U guys rock....love from Pakiatan
Amazing vlog!
WooooooW 😍🤗
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.
amazing yukon
Beautiful
Great trip🙏🙏
Wow!!! It's an amazing place and awesome video!😍🔥
Thank you so much 😁
Thanks
Some day I will visit yukon county amazing Canada...
It's a very wild spectacular place
@@MustDoCanada great
Yukon Territory ❤️
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
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
Thanks you
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
you both have beautiful accents! , really enjoy your videos. informative and entertaining, such a pleasure to follow your adventures
Thanks so much! 😊
Funniest looking Caribou ive ever seen lol. Y’all sure that wasn’t a mule deer?
Very nice
I like Your channel. I just found out about it today while watching a curiosity inc video where Alex met You at the Calgary UA-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
live there all year round for over 10 years & tell me how much u love it ,been there done that
Can you tell me more about what's it's like to live. I'm being offered a job there but can't gauge what it's like to live there? I'm coming from Toronto, but have lived in Edmonton for 1 year too. Is it worse than Edmonton? Is it safe? Etc...
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 :)
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
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
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...
A dream trip, for sure. Probably expensive though.
Depends how you do it but yes it can be
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
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 guess Joji get inspired by being in this magical place
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 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. 😃
I'll go there to work someday
More info on the plane to the glacier. How much was it?
I can feel the chill even sitting here in India
Glad to hear :)
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
it is cool to see industrial gold digger :)
hahaha for sure. Not quite as pretty
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
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.
❤🙏🏻❤
Great Sir n madam both are from
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.🖐🖐😊😊🤝🤝🤝
4:05 where does the toe come from?
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
which tour was it that landed you to the glacier?
Icefield Discovery
Winter last for how many months in yukon n summer's for how many months
uhhh, I'd say the snow comes by Halloween and likely there until May
My Grandma was born in rampart in Alaska.
Man I am excited!!! What you guys do for living?
Right now, manage social media accounts and make videos for clients. Just started, but growing slowly
@@MustDoCanada nice video I have dream but I am so happy to see you
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
Yukon is huge. Can only see a small part of it in 3 weeks.
That's true. Big place. Mostly nature too
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.
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.....
Dang whose the cutie at 2:19 😊
I wish one day got job at yukon
good husband and wife and a good travel
Thank you!
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.
How to apply as a welder in yukon ihave an experience in gold mining hire in the phil how?
I wanna travel youkon please tell me the way how I can go there
Give google a try!
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
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.*

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
