It’s the largest peak on the B.C. coast and the namesake of Vancouver Island’s most northerly regional district.

Article link in bio. OK, now isn’t the best time for your Yukon vacation. Every person entering the Yukon is required to self-isolate for 14 days, and the Canada-US border is closed to non-essential travel. But the world will open up eventually, so why not start planning your Yukon travel today?

The Yukon is filled with scenery that feels like it’s from another planet — sparse, sturdy tundra, fields of exposed granite and waterfalls, dazzling aurora borealis… plus Canada’s highest mountains, mighty rivers and all of the country’s most fantastic beasts. The best way to see it all is a road trip, and the Yukon has no shortage of epic highways.

While living in Banff, only an hour’s drive away, experiencing this one-of-a-kind location was a must on my to-do list.” @carleennugent
