The Wildlife Viewing Program will help you find these sites, and give you tips about what else is out there that you might not have noticed.
As you plan your Yukon vacation, use Yukon’s Wildlife Viewing Guide to help prepare for your trip. Find out where, when, and how to see wildlife along Yukon roads. This handy guide lists wildlife viewing sites and trails, and includes species descriptions, maps, viewing tips and other information to help you safely watch and learn about Yukon’s wildlife.
