2025 Dawson City Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

The Yukon River is one of the major river systems in North America, originating in the Yukon Territory of Canada. The Yukon River is 3,700 kilometers long and flows northward from its source through the Yukon-Kuskokwim alluvial fan into the Bering Sea. More than half of the river is located in the U.S. state of Alaska, while the rest is mostly located in the Yukon Territory, with a small portion in British Columbia. The Yukon River is the longest river in Alaska or the Yukon Territory, so it was the main transportation route for the Klondike Gold Rush from 1896 to 1903, and riverboats continued to ply the Yukon until the 1950s, when they were replaced by the Klondike Highway. The main purpose of going to the Yukon River was to find a place to photograph the northern lights and their reflections at night, but everything was in vain as the sky was covered with clouds again at night. #CanadaTravel #OverseasTravel #Yukon #NorthernLights #Lakes #Rivers #canada #canadatravel #yukon

After dinner, I started to wait for the aurora. We kept refreshing the Aurora Prediction website to see where the aurora floated. From time to time, I look out from the window of the hotel. A lot of clouds can be seen outside the window, which makes us more worried. Because even the aurora burst, the cloudy is not visible. At ten o'clock, there was a very pale green in the distant sky. We are not sure if it is aurora, but let's try it. We got on the bus and headed for Midnight Dome Viewpoint. There is light pollution in the city, and it is hidden by the clouds. Come to the top of the mountain and take a closer look. It is really aurora! Its just starting to rise, its beautiful. Quickly support the tripod, adjust the camera parameters, set the time to start continuous shooting. We are constantly exclaiming, wow, so beautiful! Starts like a green little flame, twisting into a ribbon in a few seconds, then getting bigger and bigger, mixed with red, until the sky is flying. Because it is at the top of the mountain, you can see the aurora on all sides. 360 degree panorama, here is playing a strong, there is a debut! The kind of spectacle that I saw on the spot was really impossible to understand through the photos. That kind of surprise, that kind of dream, only people at that time can understand, a few young people next to, have been exclaiming: Amazing! I am also lucky that we can catch such an aurora feast!

Dawson City is a small city with a very rich color and is very distinctive. It is a colorful building along the Yukon River. The city is extremely small, with only a few thousand residents, but it is already the largest city in the vicinity of hundreds of kilometers. Strolling around the town, running to the Yukon River to sit and sit, very comfortable. A ship S.S Keno was parked by the Yukon River and built in 1922. It is mainly used for commercial use on the Yukon River and is part of the White Pass Railway Company. Sunset is going downhill. It is highly recommended to go to a place called Midnight Dome to watch the sunset and drive around Dawson for ten minutes to overlook the entire Dawson City! At sunset, the golden sprinkles all over the valley.
