Neighbourhood
This part of Whitehorse is a new area with a brand-new gymnastic center and climbing wall (a 5-minute walk away). The neighborhood has multiple playgrounds, paved trails, green parks, and wild forest trails. From the front door of our home, you can walk to the Yukon River (a major North American river that flows through the central Yukon territory of northwestern Canada and the central region of the U.S. state of Alaska. It measures 1,980 miles (3,190 km) from the headwaters.
You will find a snack/ice cream store and a soon-to-open restaurant. You are in downtown Whitehorse in 10 min by car.
Getting to my home
Fly to Calgary, Alberta, or Vancouver, BC. Once you have that flight, you can get a connecting flight with Air North for $99 Canadian each way. (We can help you with this part... It's a local's deal.

Getting Around
Depending on your trip goals, renting a car is the best way to see the Yukon. Once you are here, you will want to drive (or fly) to Dawson City or drive 1.5 hours to Skagway, Alaska!
If you just want to explore Whitehorse, bus, walk, bike, or car rental is the way to go.
