We (Can-Can)'t imagine a trip to Dawson City without a visit to Diamond Tooth Gerties! 💃

Diamond Tooth Gerties in Visit Dawson City is open 7 days a week throughout the summer from 7pm-1am with three Gold-Rush era inspired, energetic, entertaining shows each night! 19+, must have a valid ID to enter.

But who is Gertie, and why does she have shiny teeth? Gertie Lovejoy was a dancehall girl in the Klondike Gold Rush era, who married Dawson City’s most prominent lawyer. She did in fact have a diamond between her teeth. But there's more to the story! Learn more about Klondike history and start planning your trip: https://brnw.ch/21wKNEA 💎

"Standing tall, high above the Wind River - which remains one of the Yukon’s great paddling trips. After 13 years, a return to this magical area was in the cards, and it did not disappoint. Remote mountain ranges, crystal clear water, plentiful wildlife, and no cell service made for an unforgettable summer vacation."

📌 Paddling and camping along the Wind River is a rare and exceptional experience in the Yukon. It is best done with a guide who will have the gear and expertise needed to make it a safe and enjoyable experience.

✋ You need to stop everywhere.

From the border to the top of the world, the Yukon has some of the best paved and unpaved roads to explore by RV (or by a well-equipped vehicle, at least).

🥃 Are you a member of the Sourtoe Cocktail Club?

👣 The legend of the first “sourtoe” dates back to the 1920's with rum-runner Louie Linken and his brother Otto. During a cross-border delivery the brothers hit a nasty storm where Louie stepped off the sled into ice and overflow to help his dog team. Prolonged exposure to the cold caused Louie’s soaked big toe to freeze solid. Otto did what needed to be done, and cut off his brother's toe using an axe and overproof rum for anesthesia. To remember this fateful moment, they preserved the toe in a jar of alcohol. While cleaning an abandoned cabin many years later, Captain Dick Stevenson discovered the toe.

🍸 And thus, the Sourtoe Cocktail Club was born. To this day, there are over 100,000 members around the world.

"Another permafrost victim; adding a whole new meaning to the term 'listed building'.

The buildings are now built on raised platforms to stop the building heating the ground and causing permafrost damage. The road that runs through Dawson is also a light colour, to avoid radiation from the sun doing the same.

The little building on the left is Bonton & Company. One of the best restaurants we've been to. Dawson is known for its gold but we think this gem of an eatery is the highlight."

"What do you mean the sun doesn't set?" ☀️

It's not called the Land of the Midnight Sun for no reason! 😎

As the earth rotates on its axis throughout the year, from mid-June to mid-August the Yukon is tilted closer to the Sun. This means longer than average daylight hours.

This phenomenon can be observed all over the territory, but the further north you go, the longer the daylight hangs around. When measuring from dawn to dusk, experiences days of near 21h daylight, and Whitehorse sees around 19h.

🗓️ June 21st, summer solstice, marks the day with the longest daylight hours.

🚘 Where will your Yukon road trip take you this summer?

There is a LOT of ground to cover in the Yukon. Some of it is paved highway, some of it is uneven gravel that will beckon your tire-changing skills. But all of it is the perfect backdrop to reconnect with nature, experience some of Canada's most breathtaking scenery, and stumble upon experiences you are unlikely to find anywhere else.

📌 Alaska Highway, Haines Junction

✨ Being prepared is key when it comes to exploring in the remote areas of the Yukon. Always check https://brnw.ch/21wJrIf for conditions before heading out, have a spare tire and jerry can of gas if you are planning on spending a lot of time exploring remote areas, and bring a satellite phone if you have one.

👋 If you cover the safety basics, there is still plenty of room for adventure. Are you a pre-planner, or do you prefer to see where the trip takes you once you get here?

Despite its foreboding name, Tombstone Territorial Park is teeming with life. 🤩

Colourful lichen, shrubs and wildflowers paint the landscape, while countless birds and mammals migrate through or live year round.🌱

The rough, unpaved Dempster Highway is the only road that provides access to Tombstone Territorial Park, and seems a fitting gateway to such a wild, untouched place. 🏔️

April in the Yukon is swan of a kind. 🤭

The Yukon sees spectacular spring bird migrations. April is for the water birds: swans, ducks, and geese. These birds gather by the thousands to rest and feed at limited open water sites in the Southern Lakes region.

2024 is the 30th anniversary of A Celebration of Swans, the Yukon’s premier birding festival held annually during the month of April. Visit the Swan Haven Interpretive Centre to welcome spring and witness the mass migration.

Drove up to Tombstone Territorial Park in the Yukon for spring break and -30°’s near the Arctic Circle was definitely the best way to test winter camp systems! For sure lived up to the name ‘Patagonia of the North’. Thanks again to the Yukon Parks crew for the amazing trail maintenance!"

📌 Adventuring in Tombstone Territorial Park is a very remote experience that requires appropriate gear and skills. Never go into the backcountry without a plan and an emergency contact. Bookings are required for summer camping: https://brnw.ch/21wIzN7
