Self-Guided Walking Tours

There are many opportunities to explore the Yukon’s rich and diverse heritage at your own pace!

The Yukon Government has produced walking and driving tours that highlight community and regional history across the Territory.

Whitehorse Memory Walk

Well known Whitehorse personalities share their memories of a wide variety of city locations. Former Mayor Bev Buckway revisits her childhood, Yukon MP Larry Bagnell chats about the Williams House, and Ione Christensen discusses Whiskey Flats. A wonderful collection of stories that can be equally enjoyed either while taking a stroll along the map route, or curled up in a chair on a snowy afternoon.
