The Yukon is a territory in northwestern Canada, known for its stunning natural landscapes and rich history. It is bordered by the Alaska to the west and the Northwest Territories to the east. The capital city is Whitehorse, which serves as the largest community in the territory. The Yukon is famous for its vast wilderness, including mountains, rivers, and national parks. The territory gained international attention during the Klondike Gold Rush in the late 1890s, attracting thousands of prospectors seeking fortune. Today, the Yukon is home to diverse wildlife and Indigenous cultures, with many opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and dog sledding.
