With such a large base of well-hiked members, including some in Alaska, I'm wondering if anyone has any info, stories, trip reports, outfitters, etc in the Yukon territory.
I'm looking at Tombstone Territorial Park and Kluane National Park, and quickly rekindling my love for that part of Canada, which I'd packed away in order to concentrate on putting together the Gros Morne trip. Of course, there are other parks in the territory that I'd love to get to and would be willing to receive anything on them as well.
Dawson City alone looks like a riot taking the long gone Gold-Rush days as a theme and running with it full-out.
Anyone have anything to share?

I was looking at the Donjek Glacier route in Kluane NP last year, but the trip didn't pan out. Looks like an absolutely awesome adventure that I would love to do some day.

Did a ski tour in Kluane back in the day. Included a peak with road access northwest of Whitehorse. An incredible area. Years of opportunities. Subscribe to their tourism feed. Want to go back, but not for hiking, more like a motorcycle trip up the Dempster Highway.

I was looking at the Donjek Glacier route in Kluane NP last year, but the trip didn't pan out. That makes two of us. Not sure if I'll ever get to it now that I've been setting some things in motion to split a Yukon visit between Tombstone and Kluane. You're telling me. Such beautiful, grandiose country up there. The Dempster looks like a heck of a ride, one I'd love to undertake myself. I was looking at rentals out of Whitehorse's airport and one company (Driving Force) prohibits renters from taking any of their two-wheel drive vehicles on the Dempster.
