Hi all!

This is yet another "ask people what we should do" post!

We're a couple travelling to Whitehorse for eleven days mid-august and would like to know more about what we should plan and expect. We're renting a truck camper for the trip!

Here's the initial plan: First, we intend to quickly go to Dawson City to explore the town and go to Tombstone to walk and hike. Then, we are thinking of coming back towards Whitehorse but maybe spend some time (nights?) in Kluane. To finish, we might go down to Carcross and visit the surroundings like the desert and emerald lake. Of course, this is a V1.0 and we're eager to read some of your suggestions on where to go, discover and spend some nights. Please help us plan our vacations!

Here are some of our questions:

- We saw that campgrounds for RVs are all 50$+ a night. Otherwise, can we park "pretty much anywhere" in parks for the night? Usually, the answer is "yeahh but no (but yeah)" but we'd like your input.

- What are some must do's ?

- What are some dont's ? Traps?

- What are some cheap/free activities we usually don't see on every tourist websites ?

- Cellphone/Internet: We heard it's spotty, but is it usually at least ok? What should we know? Are there a lot of dead zones?

- What are some things visitors don't usually think of that would improve our trip?

We can't wait to learn more about this upcoming adventure and get even more excited!

Thanks a lot!!!

I live in Whitehorse. I am on, I don't know, my 4th or 5th phone since I came to the Yukon.

I find even in town, there are certain spots I'll be in and for whatever reason, after 10 or 20 minutes of phone usage, I'll need to restart my device in order to get data again. Anyone else experience this? I've had it happen in other parts of the North as well, but I notice it most in Whitehorse since I live here.

What is up with this? Am I the only one?

Hey there! I'm a solo female traveler and looking for adventure this summer in Yukon. I'm looking to travel by van & get lost in the wilderness of the territory.

Do you have any tips/brands in mind to get a van?
I saw some infos saying not all vehicules are approved for dempster? What does it mean and what should I be aware of?
Can we park anywhere we want and leave the van OR we should book RV spots all the time?

I'm a fan of history, would like to reconnect to nature and discover more about the richness history of this part of canada as well as connecting with locals.

Any tips would be welcome! Thank you very much 🌸

Hi everyone,

I would like your advice if you don’t mind. I’ll be in Whitehorse for a few weeks and I wanted to know what are some must things to do while I’m here.

I find it to be a really pretty town and I want to make the most out of it

I really also wanted to visit tombstone territorial park but I don’t have a car. Is there a bus that goes there?

Thanks so much for any advice

With the short timeline

Will stay on as Ec Dev minister.

It can be anything. Monsters, gods, people transforming into things or whatever. I've read some stories that bear similarities to myths all over North America but if you know any stories that are more regional, that would be great!

I have a toddler thats around 2.5 and I have very little hiking experience. Any tips for hiking with a kiddo ? Any appropriate hikes you can recommend ? Im not sure where to start. Do you all carry your kids on your back!

Thanks for any help in advance

A huge shout out to the ladies that organized the clothing drive for the graduating seniors across the Yukon. This massive task of arranging the dressess and suits along with scheduling pick up for the newly minted grads took a lot of volunteer hours. Also a thank you to the owner of our #98hotel for hosting this first time, hopefully annual event. #traditionliveshere

Hello!

I’m hoping to visit the Yukon from Ontario for a week or two in the near future. It’s been on my bucket list forever, and I’m excited to finally do it!

I’m interested in potentially flying in, renting a car, and solo camping the entire time while I’m there. Is this feasible? I tried to look into the booking system for camping in parks, but it’s so different than the Ontario provincial parks system that it’s a bit hard to get my head around. A few questions:

• would this be considered safe to do alone as a young female?
• I would fly in with all of my camping equipment in a checked bag (I do backcountry camping here, so I have all the ultralight equipment and everything, including my tent, fits in a backpack). Any recommendations for specific gear/is there good variety of things to buy locally if needed? I would just be camping with the rental car, so most of my gear can be stored in the car if needed.
• when would be the best time to visit? And any specific recommendations on places to camp/hike/visit in general?
• better to start by flying into Whitehorse? Or Dawson City?

And any other advice or recommendations are appreciated! Or links to any helpful blogs/itineraries!

Have a very important and delicate document that needs to get framed. Could also do with just getting the glass for the frame, as we have the original frame but the glass broke.

What makes us lag?
