Drive the Alaska Highway or Stewart-Cassiar Highway from British Columbia, take a ferry or cruise ship up the British Columbia/Alaska coastline, or fly direct on jet service to Whitehorse. Scheduled flights depart Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton, as well as Alaska, the Northwest Territories and Frankfurt, Germany. Flying to the Yukon has never been more convenient. With domestic and international airlines providing scheduled services to Whitehorse, many visitors find an appealing way to experience the Yukon is to fly in and arrange travel from Whitehorse, with car and RV rentals or adventure packages. Once you’re here, start with a visit to one of 14 Yukon and Community Visitor Information Centres in Watson Lake, Teslin, Whitehorse, Carcross, Haines Junction, Carmacks, Stewart Crossing, Faro, Keno City, Mayo, Beaver Creek, Dawson City, Tombstone, or Old Crow.
