Yukon offers spectacular natural beauty; from broad valleys to rushing rivers to endless mountain ranges. Over 80 percent of the Yukon is wilderness and its iconic national parks are home to many special northern species not common or not found in lower latitudes such as caribou and moose.
Amazing skies
Due to its northerly latitude, Yukon experiences some fantastic sky light shows such as the Midnight Sun experienced in June and the incredible Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), which can be seen across Yukon from late August to mid-April.
