These images of Yukon Territory were primarily produced along the Alaska Highway from Whitehorse to Kluane National Park and Reserve.
One of three Canadian territories, Yukon is situated in the northwest corner of Canada's continental mainland. The name “Yukon” originates from the Locheux native word "Yuk-un-ah," meaning "Great River," referring to the Yukon River that flows across the territory into Alaska.
Yukon is located between the Canadian province of British Columbia and the Arctic Ocean, with Alaska to the west and the Northwest Territories to the east. The Arctic Circle crosses through the Yukon. The territory has 430 kilometres of shoreline along the Beaufort Sea.
Whitehorse is Yukon’s capital and a major northern hub. It's a big little city (pop. approx 30,000) surrounded by wilderness, with the amenities of a much larger destination paired with the friendly demeanour of a close-knit community. The Village of Haines Junction is 155 km west of Whitehorse along the Alaska Highway. "The Junction", as referred to by locals, is situated at the intersection of the Haines Highway and the Alaska Highway.
