In the late morning, you will discover the sights of Whitehorse, historic and yet trendy, on a city tour with character.

And when you’ve seen all these top sites, Main Street is perfect for strolling and shopping with its shops, galleries, and coffee shops. After a relaxed dinner in Whitehorse, you’ll be back on the road again, this time to seek views of the stunning Northern Lights.
