Only in the Yukon, Canada’s true north, can you experience winter adventure surrounded by abundant wildlife amid a land described, but understated, as a masterpiece of nature.

Don’t forget your camera! In addition to spectacular Northern Lights and “sundog viewing”, the Yukon winter skies are a photographers dream. When its clear and cold, the sky is a rich cobalt blue and Pure vacationers marvel at the many delicate pastel colours that sunrises and sunsets create.

No visit to this region could be complete with out experiencing the rich history and culture of Canada’s First Nations people. Their stories, legends, games, songs and dances reflect spiritual and cultural values that have evolved thousands of years.

Hunting and trapping are still an important way of life for Yukon First Nations people, and native-tanned, hand made arts, crafts and clothing and are available in every community.

Why not try some Ice Fishing, this requires no special equipment, and many an enthusiast believe fish caught in winter taste better than those caught in the summer.
