Whitehorse offers a vast range of sights and activities for visitors, whether your interests lie in history, the arts, photographic opportunities, unique dining, walking/hiking at any level of difficulty, scenic drives, canoeing... - the list can go on and on. Some specific suggestions:

• enjoy a day in the pools at Takhini Hot Springs or the Canada Games Centre (which also has a gym and many other facilities).

• Whitehorse has at least 8 heritage attractions, including a walking tour, the MacBride Museum and the restored sternwheel steamboat S.S. Klondike.

• a day trip (112 miles each way) to the south to Skagway, Alaska - explore this vibrant community that keeps the flavor of its Klondiek Gold Rush boom days. See the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park and Skagway Guide sites for more information.
