Exploring around Dawson City, Yukon
Retracing the Klondike Gold Rush - The Yukon, Canada
Known for its wilderness landscapes, wildlife and striking natural phenomena, the Yukon in north-west Canada is larger than life. This is a land rich with dramatic mountain vistas, wild rivers and crystal clear lakes. Southern Yukon has vast forests as far as the eye can see, and in North Yukon the tundra rolls on forever. In summer, you can enjoy the midnight sun extending your fun into the wee hours and in winter you won't want to miss the mystery of the northern lights. However, what makes the Yukon so well known is gold.
The Klondike Gold Rush
The Klondike Gold Rush took place at the end of the nineteenth century. Thousands of people streamed into the Yukon in search of gold and, at the peak of the gold rush, Dawson City was the biggest city north of Seattle and west of Winnipeg. Writers of the time in particular helped to immortalise the heady days of the gold rush. You can still see many signs of the gold rush when you visit, whether you hike the famous Chilkoot Trail or visit the historic city of Dawson, where the Palace Grand Theatre and Diamond Tooth Gertie's Gambling Hall put on nightly shows in true gold rush style.
Is it still possible to find gold in the Yukon?
Are you feeling lucky? There's still plenty of gold out there. It's just a matter of looking in the right place. Tour companies in Dawson City offer gold panning tours. If you're more serious, you'll need to check with Yukon Government about where you're permitted to pan.
The Klondike Mini-Series Launch Event in Dawson City, Yukon
On January 20, Dawson City residents got together, dressed up and watched the launch of Klondike mini-series together... here some of the action!

We explore Dawson City, Yukon Territory! We tour the goldfields, the city and the paddleboats! For more see cruisinwiththecareys.com as Bryan and Julie travel North America to Alaska!
Dawson, Yukon, Canada
Dawson city was the largest city north of San Francisco. The succesful gold miners spent fortunes on grand living in the hotels, dance halls,saloons,and other establishments, including those that offered the services of young ladies who were specially imported to the gold rush capital. In 1962, Canada decided to restore some of the buildings since the Gold Rush and turn the Dawson into a tourist mecca.

We are originally from the USA we left home in 2013 after graduating from college. We then returned back to the US a year later to build a normal life. We quickly discovered that it wasn’t for us and left home for good in 2015. We were nomadic for over three years across six continents and 80 countries. It took us 500 blog posts, thousands of nights in different beds, a few horrible meals and a ton of amazing ones until we chose to base ourselves in the Canadian Rockies. Now we travel for half the year and explore the mountains for the other half. We are incredibly grateful for the life we live and hope we can help you meet your travel goals too!

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.
The Canadians: Klondike Kate
Kathleen Eloise Rockwell (born in Kasas in 1873 – died February 21, 1957 in Oregon), known as Klondike Kate, was a famous dancer and vaudeville star during the Klondike Gold Rush, working in Dawson City as a member of the Savoy Theatrical Company.
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.
Tickets are available at the Triple J Hotel, located at 5th Avenue of the historical importance of the Yukon River to the Gold Rush, Dawson City and the Yukon.

There were many, MANY more entertaining characters in Dawson City we wish we’d had time to include in the episode. We’re very much hoping that we’ll be able to cover some of them in more detail in the future. In fact, we’ve already shot a bunch of footage for an episode about Klondike Kate Rockwell and her rival in Whitehorse, Klondike Kate Ryan, which we’ll be releasing some time in 2019. Make sure you subscribe so you don’t miss it!
There was also Belinda Mulroney, “the richest woman in the Klondike”, whose broken-down pet mule, Gerry, had a habit of poking his head into the saloons to and getting drunk on free booze until he finally got kicked out. (At least, according to some stories — including the tales Pierre Berton tells in “Klondike: The Last Great Gold Rush”, although we’ve been told that he could get more than a little carried away with repeating the most exciting myths sometimes.)
There was “Swiftwater” Bill Gates, a dishwasher from Idaho whose claim on Bonanza Creek was so rich he paraded through the muddy streets in a top hat, with a diamond pin in his tie and the only starched collar in town. He fell so deeply in love with a teenage dancer that he offered her her weight in gold if only she would marry him—but still got soundly rejected. He died decades later, searching for silver in Peru.
There was Charlie Kimball, who sold his claim on Bonanza Creek for $100,000, opened a dancehall and was so excited by its success that he got drunk for three straight months, spent all his money on booze, and lost his dancehall in the process.
There’s more to the story of Martha and George, too—especially when it comes to their contributions to the First World War.
When the war broke out, the Blacks were determined to do their part. George created his own Yukon Infantry Company and convinced nearly 300 men to sign up. And when they sailed off to join the fight, Martha made sure she was with them. She spent the war in England, working harder than she’d ever worked before: volunteering for the Red Cross and the YMCA, writing reports for the newspapers back home, and visiting wounded soldiers in hospital. She was even made a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society thanks to a series of talks she gave about the flora of Yukon. (She was very much an expert on the subject; in fact, the Canadian Pacific Railway displayed the art she made of pressed flowers in hotels across the country.)
Just a few months before the end of the war, George joined the list of the wounded. At the Battle of Amiens, his legs were hit by shrapnel and cut through by a machine gun bullet.
And the Blacks were far from the only Yukoners who made sacrifices during those terrible years of the war. Dawson City and Whitehorse spent more per capita on war bonds than any other cities in Canada. And in 1918, the territory was devastated by the sinking of the SS Sophia. The steamship was owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway, ferrying passengers between Alaska and Vancouver — including soldiers destined for the front lines in Europe. There were more than 350 people on board when the ship struck a reef. It was stranded there for nearly 48 hours, in sight of the desperate rescuers who tried and failed to save the passengers before the ship finally sank beneath the waves. Every single one of them died. This, too, is a story we’d like to cover in more detail someday. You can read more about the sinking of the Sophia from the Canadian mint, who created a memorial coin this year, here:
Note: The portrait of Martha Black used in the episode for her journey to Dawson is a substitute for the fact there are no usable photos of her during her younger days. Rather than use a photo of an elderly Martha Black, we chose to find a public domain image that closely resembled her since Martha was not an elderly woman when she first came to Yukon--she grew old here in Canada, and we didn't think it would make sense to use a late photo for her 20s and 30s. We believe strongly that the animations in Canadiana episodes are a way to connect to the past, so we make decisions to strengthen that sensibility, even if it means fudging some lines (think: re-enactments).
A big thank you to Alpine Aviation, Janet and Gerd, and to our pilot Andrew who gave us the experience of a lifetime flying over Chilkoot Pass!
