During a recent two week trip to Canada we included a nine day visit to the Canadian Yukon.  While there, we sampled local favorites like wild salmon and visited the Kluane National Park.

This park and the surrounding parks adjacent to it make up one of the largest protected wilderness areas in the world. The remote region of the Yukon boasts an extremely low human population density and pristine areas. Click here to read a dedicated article about Canada’s Yukon.
