As travelers embark on far-flung adventures to destinations with vast open spaces, natural beauty, and outdoor recreation, Canada’s Yukon Territory is on top of the list.
According to a report, the unspoiled, rugged Canada’s northwest can make lockdown seem like the distant past. With forested valleys, 5,000-meter high mountain peaks, tranquil waterways, and roaming wildlife, there are various ways to make your Yukon trip one of a kind.
Be captivated by the magical aurora borealis, also known as northern lights. Explore for 20 minutes into the wilderness outside the capital city of Whitehorse to witness the northern lights at their brightest during winter’s total darkness through Northern Tales Travel Service.
This spectacular viewing spot is a cozy prospector-style wall tent previously used by gold hunters and trappers.
In addition, Arctic Range Adventure offers a range of aurora viewing tours, including the Aurora Viewing or Yukon Wildlife adventure, which includes a night at the AuroraCentre with an open campfire while the northern lights dance over the horizon, and an excursion to the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, where you will be able to capture incredible wildlife such as bighorn sheep, mountain goats to the arctic fox, musk-ox and even lynx.
The Northern Lights Resort and Spa is also an excellent opportunity to take in the spectacle in comfort and far from any light pollution.
The Aurora Glass Chalets, with large windows for viewing, also offer a stunning view of the Yukon Valley and surrounding mountain range. They are a wonderful base to begin your excursion for your aurora escapade.
Yukon is a destination that lets you connect with nature and your most authentic self. It’s a peaceful retreat to reflect and renew where opportunities abound for workshops and retreats, including photography and writing, painting, hiking, mountain biking, and yoga.
You can also enjoy Yukon through RV adventures during the summer under the spectacular midnight sun might just be the road trip of a lifetime.
