Thursday, January 23, 2025 As Yukon Heritage Day approaches on 21 February, marking a time to celebrate the culture and history of Canada’s northern territory, Journeyscape, a specialist tour operator, has introduced two exciting new holiday packages. These carefully curated experiences are designed to showcase the region’s awe-inspiring glacial landscapes, rich historical heritage, and the mesmerizing Northern Lights. The Yukon gained international fame during the Gold Rush of the 1890s, and its vibrant past is proudly honored on Heritage Day.
Festivities include thrilling sled dog races, captivating air shows, and intricate snow sculpture competitions. This annual celebration aligns perfectly with the prime season for viewing the Northern Lights, a spectacle best enjoyed from November to March, when the skies are at their clearest. The aurora season officially spans from August to April, making this time of year ideal for witnessing one of nature’s most magical displays.
Journeyscape invites travelers to embark on an unforgettable 8-day Yukon Northern Lights Adventure, blending the vibrant cityscape of Vancouver with the breathtaking wilderness of the Yukon. The journey begins with three days in Vancouver, where you can explore iconic landmarks like the Capilano Suspension Bridge, the lush Stanley Park rainforest, and the charming streets of historic Gastown. From there, fly to Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon, for four nights of spectacular Aurora viewing.
