The Yukon: It's a Little Bit Metal (30s cut)
❄️Travelling here in the Winter isn’t for everyone.
It's beautiful, yet rugged. Fun, yet freezing. Unique, yet remote. It's a one-of-a-kind trip that attracts a certain type of traveller. One who looks for a holiday that's beyond the typical. Something different. Something adventurous.
🤘 Something...a little bit 'Metal', as they say. 🤘

We acknowledge the traditional territories of the Yukon First Nations and the importance of showing respect: for the land by leaving it as you find it; for the water, habitat and all living animals; and for the culture, traditions, virtues and values of each distinct nation.
