Days 6, 7 & 8 – Dawson City
The City of Gold
On the sixth day of the Great River Journey, guests travel by riverboat from Wilderness Outpost to Dawson City through the traditional lands of the Tr’ondëk Hwech’in.
In 1896, the discovery of gold near the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike rivers touched off what is to this day the biggest gold rush in world history. Practically overnight, a centuries-old First Nations fish camp in the wilderness was transformed into Dawson City—the “Paris of the North.” Over 100 years later, this National Historic Site on the banks of the Yukon River beckons travelers to enter an exciting new stage of their journey.
