Travel tips Great places to get romantic in the Yukon

As far as dreamy locations go, this place is woefully under-Instagrammed

Whether you’re looking for the perfect location to tie the knot or a secluded place to spend some quality time, the Yukon has more quirky charm, jaw-dropping beauty and romantic remoteness than you can throw a bouquet at.

Best of all, it hasn’t been seen in a million selfies. So if you’re looking for a unique place to show your social media feed that you’re officially official, we’ve got a few ideas that are sure to blow your mind.

Spend a special day in the dunes

When you want to share a one-of-a-kind experience with your significant other, why not try the world’s smallest desert? In Carcross, soft sands look out over desert flora and rugged peaks.

Try a cabin in the woods

Want to cuddle up in a rough-hewn log cabin but don’t have the time, skills or upper body strength to build one yourself? Then we highly recommend you check out a cabin in the Yukon.

Your wedding is a magical day that you’ll never want to end. And if you have it under the midnight sun, it never will! But even if you’re not planning on tying the knot just yet, more daylight hours mean more quality time with your sweetheart.

Plan an evening with nature’s mood lighting

That’s more tandem bike rides, milkshakes with two straws and heart-eyed smiley emojis to share with each other. There will be romance in the air. And mosquitoes. So remember to bring bug spray.
