Welcome to Dawson City, Yukon!

Dawson City is a historic and enchanting destination that immerses you in the thrilling history of the Klondike Gold Rush. As your guide, I'm excited to introduce you to some of the top attractions and experiences that make Dawson City a must-visit destination.

  1. Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Site: Step back in time at the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Site. Explore the preserved buildings, museums, and exhibits that showcase the hardships and dreams of the gold rush era. Take a guided tour to learn about the stories of those who sought fortune in these goldfields.
  2. Diamond Tooth Gerties: Experience a taste of the lively Klondike nightlife at Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling Hall. Enjoy cabaret-style entertainment, can-can dancing, and try your luck at the lively casino. This historic venue captures the essence of the vibrant days of the gold rush.
  3. Dawson City Museum: Delve deeper into Dawson City's history at the Dawson City Museum. Discover artifacts, photographs, and displays that depict the challenges and triumphs of the gold rush era. Learn about the Indigenous cultures, mining history, and the unique heritage of this remote northern town.
  4. Midnight Dome: Get a panoramic view of Dawson City and its surroundings from the top of Midnight Dome. Hike or drive to this vantage point during the summer months to witness the stunning midnight sun or catch the vibrant fall colors.
  5. Sourtoe Cocktail: Embark on a quirky and unique tradition at the Downtown Hotel's Sourdough Saloon. Take part in the infamous "Sourtoe Cocktail," a drink featuring an actual amputated toe submerged in alcohol. It's a strange and memorable experience that is not for the faint of heart.
  6. Tombstone Territorial Park: Venture into the rugged beauty of Tombstone Territorial Park, located near Dawson City. Marvel at picturesque landscapes of towering peaks, vast tundra, and stunning hiking trails. This untamed wilderness offers opportunities for camping, wildlife viewing, and immersing yourself in the tranquility of nature.
