Heart of the Klondike Gold Rush

Once the heart of the Klondike Gold Rush, Dawson City still hums with its adventurous past. Colourful buildings, wooden boardwalks, and rich Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in heritage make this riverside town one of the North’s most captivating stops. Explore historic attractions, local arts, and the endless Yukon wilderness right from your doorstep.

Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in First Nation

The Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in is a Yukon First Nation based in Dawson City. The citizenship of roughly 1,100 includes descendants of the Hän-speaking people, who have lived along the Yukon River for millennia, and a diverse mix of families descended from Gwich’in, Northern Tutchone and other language groups.

A comfortable six-to-seven-hour drive from Whitehorse via the North Klondike Highway brings you through scenic river valleys and rolling hills.
