History of Yukon River Dawson City Yukon
One hundred years ago, paddlewheel traffic dominated the Yukon River, bringing equipment to miners, precious commodities to residents, mail and newfangled catalogue goods from faraway and even visitors yearning for the adventure, beauty and mystery of the far north. Prior to existence of
today's roads, these great vessels were the highway of the
north, the lifeblood of the Yukon.
If you're looking for something unique to do in Dawson, you won't want to miss touring the Yukon River on the Klondike Spirit paddlewheel! Two-hour lunch and three-hour dinner cruises are available, with a licensed bar and knowledgeable interpreters on hand to provide rich historical background on the area, the river and the Gold Rush. The boat is also available to charter for weddings, reunions and other special events. There is no other tour boat like the Klondike Spirit anywhere in the Yukon, and the 20-kilometer round trip is an experience that's hard to beat for tasting the excitement and authenticity of Gold Rush era travel. he Klondike Spirit was constructed over a period of five years by Charlie House and Nick Turner of Eagle, Alaska. It has a welded steel hull and side-wheel propulsion, is three stories high with the wheelhouse and provides comfortable seating for 88 people. The captain, engineer, deck hands and interpreters dress in period costume, and there are plans to provide live piano music. Meals are made from local produce and reflect a northern theme. Tours start on or around the 1st of June and run until the beginning of September.
Owner Robert Whitelaw and General Manager Brad Whitelaw took over the Triple J Hotel in Dawson in 2006, and felt the Klondike Spirit would compliment their hotel business, so they purchased the boat in the fall 2007. Brad has lived here since 1987, and has witnessed many changes and opportunities in the town; he hopes to expand the tours and possibly develop Dawson's waterfront, experience and great food, and to enhance visitors' understanding of the historical importance of the Yukon River to the Gold Rush, Dawson City and the Yukon.

Discover Dawson City.mov
Dawson City is a must stop, a national historic site that preserves an entire city, with many of its buildings dating back to the Klondike Gold Rush. An estimated 100,000 gold seekers headed for the Klondike in 1897, after news of George Carmack's 1896 discovery of gold on Rabbitt Creek reached the outside world, although only a fraction of them made it to Dawson City that first winter. A tent town with less than 500 people in 1896, Dawson boomed as the gold rush gained momentum, boasting some 30,000 residents by 1898. Visit the Dawson Museum for displays about the gold rush, or take in the Robert Service Show to recapture the spirit of the times. Don't miss the opportunity to experience the North's most famous gold rush town.

Terry Croteau and daughter Sarah traverse the Yukon and Klondike Rivers
During June 2011, I breakfasted with Terry and Sarah Croteau during a stay at in Whitehorse. The mother-daughter pair travelled by kayak from Whitehorse (the Yukon River) to Dawson (the Klondike River). They slipped down Miles Canyon, traversed angry swells higher than 3 feet at Lake Laberge, and successfully put up at Dawson City in the bush of the Yukon. The bush, btw, is where the bears live. Terry lives in Pennsylvania.
