Canada's highest mountain is located in the southwest corner of the territory. The Dempster Highway, running north from Dawson City across the Arctic Circle, passes through the most northerly range of the Rocky Mountains, permitting tourists to see mountain tundra in the higher altitudes. The Yukon provides a range for vast herds of caribou, seen as they migrate in the spring and fall. Outdoor recreation lies around every corner in the Yukon. Anyone who likes the outdoors will want to don a back pack and wander along the rivers, through mountain meadows, and on many trails found in the national and territorial parks.
River trips are a popular pastime.
Other rivers offer white-water canoeing and rafting. This is arguably the best private campground in the Yukon, and a major attraction is the hot spring resort of which this is a part. It's located at the end of Takhini Hotsprings Road, off the Klondike Highway, north of Whitehorse. Camping facilities include electrical hookups, showers, picnic tables, firewood, and laundry, and other resort features include a coffee shop, large outdoor hot spring pools, and guided trail rides. This large downtown RV park is located on 2nd Avenue, north of Ogilvie Street.
