r/Yukon

I have never went simply because I have been completely priced out of enjoying it. Which is super sad considering I went all my life… oh well. But I’m just very curious if it’s busy when people go ? It just seems so expensive I wonder how they do .

Also if annoys me they have implemented walk ins being more expensive than booking online. I get it’s easier for them but wow really crappy for older people that might not be online or have access to getting online.

Hi all,

I have always wanted to go to the Yukon and I finally planned a trip in August. I'll be there for about three weeks and I got permits to backpack the Grizzly Divide Trail for part of my trip. I was wondering whats the best/cheapest way to get from Whitehorse to Tombstone? I may rent a car, but it is unfortunate to have the car sit there for 4-5 days being unused while I'm backpacking when its $150 a day. Is there any other way (tours, buses, etc.) to get between the two that will be cheaper? I don't mind the long drive because I love wildlife watching and am excited to see the sights between the two.

To those who grew up here/chose to raise a family here after originally growing up in the "big cities" down south - what were your experiences? Do you feel as if you or your children got adequate school/extra circular experiences? Do you feel as if you/your children are socially stunted or "behind" in any way, as a result of growing up in a relatively small town with a relatively transient population? Were you/are you happy with the schooling and community/recreational opportunities available to you?

If you could go back, would you do it again in Whitehorse? Or would you pick some place else?

Alright, French Canadian stuck living in the top half of BC; I’ll be in Whitehorse next week and around the southern half of the territory a bit. What’s the best poutine option? I miss good poutine and I’m looking for a good classic poutine and maybe a galvaude if anyone in the southern portion of the Yukon makes one.

You guys have a lot more Francophones than we do, please don’t let me down. Also, does anyone know if any of the grocery stores sell cretons? I can’t get them here unless I make my own and they don’t taste right when I do.

Can’t help but notice that some homes aren’t selling and prices are actually dropping - which I don’t remember seeing for years?

Is anyone actually going to this? Tickets start at $55 and go up to $225...

Has anyone camped at Pine Lake on a weekend this summer? I know in previous years there have been all night parties on the beach that disturb the entire campground, which police do not respond to. Has this been a problem so far this summer? I have some nights booked there but am not keen to take my young kids if this is an ongoing issue.

Coming to visit, but we have a Honda civic, can we go past whitehorse? Is the Dempster highway possible for a car or is strictly suv/trucks only?
