The BBC has put together a fascinating slideshow of the 21 top ‘under-the-radar’ destinations in the world and Canada is on the list.
Yukon, Canada
The Yukon is where Canadians go when the rest of the country feels a little too crowded. Hugging the border with Alaska, this area of wilderness that is twice the size of the UK has fewer residents than Liechtenstein – once you’ve discounted the caribou, grizzly bears, wolves, lynx and bald eagles.
Interest in this region surged during the Klondike gold rush of 1896, but it soon reverted to normal, leaving just a few reminders of Canada’s version of the Wild West, such as the old prospectors’ town of Dawson City, and Jack London’s novels Call of the Wild and White Fang .
In the south of the territory is the Kluane National Park – its icefields, which spill over into Alaska, are the largest outside the polar regions.
Road trips across the Yukon make for an adventure, whether you take the historic and well-paved Alaska Highway, or the more rough-and-ready Robert Campbell Highway or Dempster Highway. Off road, canoe and kayak trips open up the Yukon River to exploration. (Original photo by Alexander Hassenstein/Getty)
