    Yukon Territory
    Geography

    Yukon Territory, Canada's 'last frontier,' is largely a mountainous and forested wilderness. It is bisected by the valley of the Yukon River, which passes to the west of the Mackenzie Mountains. Mount Logan, in the St. Elias Range on the border with Alaska, is the second highest peak in North America at 5959 meters (19,550 ft). TheCassiar and Alaska highways converge at Watson Lake, a weather-beaten junction that straddles the 60th Parallel and marks the entrance to the Yukon Territory, perhaps the most exhilarating and varied destination in this part of the world. Taking its name from a Dene word meaning "great," it boasts the highest mountains in Canada, wild sweeps of forest and tundra, and the fascinating nineteenth-century relic, Dawson City. The focus of the Klondike gold rush, Dawson was also the territory's capital until that role shifted south to Whitehorse, a town booming on tourism and the ever-increasing harvest of the Yukon's vast mineral resources. Climate
    Summers in the Yukon are warm, with almost continuous daylight during June. Summer days can be hot, but sweaters and light jackets are advised for the evenings. The winters are bitterly cold. Thermal underwear, wool sweaters, parkas, wool gloves or mittens and mukluks or felt-lined boots are worn in winter.

    Pros
    Alaska Highway Visitor Center, varied winter activities Cons Crummy and limited lodging, bad food, terrible movie, expensive, boring tourist attractions The Bottom Line Watson Lake is an unfortunate stop on the Alaska Highway Full Review In summer 1997, my wife and I drove from San Francisco to Anchorage, AK on a 3 week vacation. Along the way, we spent a day and night in Watson Lake, Yukon. I had always fantasized about the Yukon as a wild and perhaps idyllic place, so I was ecstatic to finally make it there. Unfortunately, Watson Lake was my least-favorite place in the Yukon and one of my least-favorite places on our entire 5,000 mile trip. To understand why, it’s crucial to understand Watson Lake’s geography. Watson Lake is a town in southern Yukon along the Alaska Highway with about 1,500 people, which makes it one of the larger towns in the Yukon. Watson Lake is approximately 8 hours away by car from Whitehorse on the west and Fort Nelson, BC on the east, with both Whitehorse and Fort Nelson representing the nearest towns with a full complement of tourist services. In other words, it’s a 16 hour drive between Whitehorse and Fort Nelson, and there is a single town—Watson Lakein between providing tourist services.

    THE BONNET PLUME RIVER YUKON TERRITORY
    GEOGRAPHY

    The Bonnet Plume River headwaters in the Mackenzie Mountains, straddle the drainage divide which separates the Yukon and the NWT. The river flows over 350 kms before joining the Peel River, which flows northward across the Yukon/ NWT border to the Mackenzie River delta. Nominated for inclusion in the CHRS in 1993, the Bonnet Plume and its tributary rivers encompass a total area of approximately 12,000 sq kms. A management plan, expected for completion in 1996, is currently being prepared for the watershed. This plan will address the interests and concerns of all stakeholders within the area and will utilize their experience and strengths to the benefit of sound, long term, ecologically sensitive management for the Bonnet Plume watershed.
    The communities closest to the Bonnet Plume are significantly removed from the river, and access to the basin is only by aircraft. Due to its regular air and road connections with the south, and the presence of air charter operations based there, Whitehorse is the main entry point to the area. Mayo, located on the Stewart River and with access from the Klondike Highway, has a float plane base and air strip but all air service is based in Whitehorse. Fort McPherson, a common destination point for river travelers, offers limited facilities and services. It is accessible both by air, from Inuvik, NWT, and by road, via the Dempster Highway.

    for National Geographic News
    May 9, 2003 The "Bikes on Ice" expedition, a nearly 1,400-mile (2,250-kilometer) bicycle trek along the frozen Yukon River and Bering Sea coast from the Yukon to Alaska, has ended successfully. The finish came just in the nick of time, ahead of the encroaching spring thaw. "As we were riding into Nome, we could see sea ice breaking up off to our left. The locals had seen it happening for some time," said Kevin Vallely, 38, an architect and adventure athlete from North Vancouver, Canada. "A week later, I'm sure it would have been inaccessible." Vallely was joined on his quest by Andy Sterns, 37, of Fairbanks, Alaska, and Frank Wolf, 32, of North Vancouver, British Columbia. The three expert cyclists, who have extensive arctic travel experience, undertook the adventure to recreate two historic cycling feats from the gold rush past. The trio completed their 49-day journey late last month. Max Hirschberg, a roadhouse manager and cyclist, spent two-and-a-half months pedaling the route in the dead of winter. That same year, a young miner named Ed Jesson pedaled the frozen Yukon River, riding an astonishing 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) in five weeks. The men's journals became unique chronicles of gold rush history and inspired Vallely and his present-day partners to follow in their trail.
