The cordillera is a series of mountain ranges and valleys along a northwestern alignment. The territory is separated from the Pacific coast by the Alaskan panhandle. Three mountain passes (Chilkat, Chilkoot and White Pass) allow access into the Yukon. The broad Yukon Interior Plateau lies at 600 to 1,000 metres in the central Yukon between the western Coastal Ranges, and the Selwyn and Ogilvie Mountains on the east. A tundra plain stretches along the Arctic coast. The Yukon has 200 kilometres of Arctic coastline along the Beaufort Sea, and one Arctic island located five kilometres off the north shore. Herschel Island is a territorial park. The highest point in Canada, Mount Logan (5,971 metres) is located in the St. Elias mountains in the southwest Yukon.

It flows generally northwest, past Dawson and across the Alaska border, to Fort Yukon, thence generally southwest through central Alaska until, in a wide swing north, it enters Norton Sound of the Bering Sea through a delta that is 60 mi (97 km) wide. Its chief tributaries are the Teslin, Pelly, White, Stewart, Porcupine, Tanana, and Koyukuk rivers. The river is incised in the Yukon Plateau; marshy land borders much of its upper course. The Yukon is navigable for river boats three months of the year to Whitehorse, c.1,775 mi (2,860 km) upstream. The Yukon River is a major salmon-spawning ground, and salmon fishing is an important seasonal activity. The Yukon is used to generate hydroelectricity, but it remains one of the greatest undeveloped hydroelectric resources in North America. On the river's banks are fur-trading posts, missions, native villages, and towns with modern airports serving vast areas.

The highest point in the Yukon is Mt. Logan, 19,551 ft (5,959 m) high, part of the Coast Ranges in the southwest. Although most of the territory is a watershed for the Yukon River and its tributaries, the northern and southeastern regions drain east into the Mackenzie River system. Immediately south of the desolate arctic coast the country is uninhabited and generally unknown. The other parts of the territory have great natural beauty, with snow-fed lakes backed by perpetually white-capped mountains and forests and streams abounding with wildlife. Kluane National Park (est. 1972) is in the St. Elias Mts. Winters are long and cold, with low humidity. During the short summers the longer day and surprisingly warm sun bring a profusion of wildflowers and enable the hardier grains and vegetables to mature.

Location Climate Geology and geography Flora and fauna ... Images Location This ecozone contains the mountainous southern Yukon and northern British Columbia. Climate The mountains in the west of the Boreal Cordillera stop much of the precipitation that would normally fall, so the region tends towards dryness, with less than 300 mm of precipitation in the west. Precipitation rises to the east, with up to 1500 mm falling on some slopes. From one third to two-thirds of the precipitation falls as snow. Average winter temperatures are -18ºC, while the short summer averages 10ºC. Geology and Geography Mountains and plateaus are the dominant features, separated by lowlands and valleys. Debris and deposits from glaciers cover the plateaus and valleys, and even the lower slopes of the mountains have deposits. Flora and Fauna Plants Trees grow in the lowlands and on the lower slopes. As elevation increses, trees become stunted and above the treeline only shrubs, moss, lichen and herbs are found. Much of the upper slopes is bare rock, snow and ice. Trees of the area include white spruce black spruce , Engelmann spruce, alpine fir lodgepole pine whitebark pine , trembling aspen, balsam poplar, white birch water birch , scrub birch, and
