The North Klondike River Trail will take you deeper into the northern Yukon’s wild, following the North Klondike River up to open tundra and boreal forest.

In the summer, this trail is home to wildflowers, year-round dwarf birch, and lichen-covered rocks, and this area is also home to caribou, marmots, and bears.

Edge of the Arctic is a short 400-meter loop off the North Klondike River Trail, a shorter, family-friendly loop with interpretive panels that explain how the subarctic boreal forest transitions into tundra. Visitors will be able to enjoy views from this short loop without the climb of the North Klondike River Trail.
