Yukon 2008 Vacation Planner - (Page 1) a Yukon welcome your invitation to Yukon adventure As Yukon’s Minister of Tourism and Culture, I invite you to come and experience all there is to see and do in beautiful Yukon where the land, culture and adventures are Larger Than Life. Come and celebrate the performing, literary and visual arts at the many festivals and events held in Yukon communities. Come and experience authentic First Nations culture, heritage and traditional lifestyles. Come and share in true Northern community spirit where visitors are welcome and friendships are forged. There are few places in the world where rolling hills, majestic mountain vistas, boreal forest and alpine meadows offer incredible beauty just waiting to take your breath away. Yukon is such a place. Whether it’s guided wilderness adventures, hiking and biking, river and kayak adventures, or shopping followed by quiet solitude, visitors are able to enjoy holiday experiences that last a lifetime. As a lifelong Yukoner, I can say with great pride that there has never been a better time to come and discover why Yukon is Larger Than Life! table of contents Destination Yukon Calendar of Events Regions Watson Lake Southern Lakes Teslin, Tagish, Atlin, Carcross, Marsh Lake, Mount Lorne Whitehorse Kluane Haines Junction, Destruction Bay, Burwash Landing, Beaver Creek Campbell Faro, Ross River Silver Trail Stewart Crossing, Mayo, Keno City Klondike Carmacks, Pelly Crossing, Dawson City 16 22 2 4 30 48 54 60 66 Honourable Elaine Taylor Minister of Tourism and Culture North Yukon Old Crow Winter Magic Fireweed – YG (J.
