The historic Alaska Highway has countless places with a story to tell, and Beaver Creek is no exception.
Situated about a half-hour drive from the Alaska border, today Beaver Creek is a convenient stop for travellers. Pull in for gas, road snacks, helpful info and friendly smiles from the locals. Or stay longer and enjoy a hot meal, plug in your RV or get a cozy room. Once on your way again, you may spot more Yukon wildlife along the highway—ironically probably not a beaver.
The Yukon has been inhabited for centuries, holding some of the earliest evidence of the presence of humans in North America. Today, 11 of the 14 Yukon First Nations have signed their Self-Government agreements. They are responsible for their own resource management, economic and social programs, combining traditional activities on the land with entrepreneurial and administrative skills in businesses, government and tourism.
Visitors are extended a warm welcome to the local First Nations cultural centres and festivals across the Yukon. Learn about the history and culture of the 14 Yukon First Nations before you go.
