Frequently Asked Questions >Why Choose the Yukon?
Question: Why choose the Yukon over other world-class wilderness destinations?
Answer:
Many places claim to have great wilderness, but few locations compare
to the wilderness opportunities available in the Yukon. The
Yukon, with its population of only 32,000 people, in a territory larger
than the state of California, is a sea of wilderness with small islands
of humanity. Contrarily, many locations that are advertised as
wilderness, are islands of wilderness surrounded by a vast sea of
humanity. The Yukon is the best of what the Canadian wilderness
experience has to offer. It has the wide-open spaces and haunting
emptiness for which Northern Canada is famous, combined with the scenic
beauty of the western mountains. Join this rich landscape with a
friendly and culturally sophisticated population and you have the
recipe for a world-class vacation experience. The Yukon will exceed
your expectations and leave you wanting to return soon!
