It happens the last week in February and is iconic. The festival includes flour packing, axe throwing, swede saw, dog races, snow sculpting and so much more. There is a beauty pageant with women daunting clothes from the gold rush era.

Also noteworthy is the Wildlife Preserve on the Takhini Hot Springs Road… great to support their work and see moose, bison and many other Yukon animals.

Was an awesome experience! A note on the dark winters, we are going into our 42nd winter… the cold is not bad since it is dry here and everything is white with snow… so quite bright over all. Lots of sun and very few overcast days. Loved the moose and the caribou in particular. Did hikebiketravel girl actually visit whitehorse or just wiz by on her bike?
