Dawson City
Dawson City is situated in the Yukon in northwestern Canada, and is the place most associated with the world’s greatest gold rush. By 1898 this outpost in the middle of the vast Canadian wilderness had a population of nearly 40,000. The lucky few struck it rich, while the nearly 100,000 that followed were mostly disappointed. Today the population is about 1500.
Visitors enjoy hiking, gold panning, boating on the beautiful Klondike River, or trying their luck in the casino. There are a variety restaurants and lots of entertainment and festivals. Take a round on the golf course under the midnight summer sun, or watch the famous Yukon Quest dogsled race by the Northern Lights.
The city is next to the Klondike River, in a mountainous, sub-artic climate. There is good highway access and flights through Whitehorse arrive from Vancouver and Frankfurt.
