This week’s edition of Travel Tuesdays features Whitehorse, the capital city of Yukon, a territory in northwest Canada. According to archeological records, people of First Nations origin, including the people of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta'an Kwäch'än Council, have lived in the area since the end of the last Ice Age. Whitehorse is also a known place for viewing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) which are most clearly seen between January to mid-April due to the long, dark winter nights. Some interesting things to do here include:
1. Take a hike through the Miles Canyon terrain
2. Visit the Yukon wildlife preserve
3. Take a dive into the Takhini hot springs, the 47 degree celsius natural mineral water.
