Tonight we left Fairbanks, Alaska, and caught a late flight into the Canadian Yukon Territory.....to the town of Dawson City. We are now entering an area of the Northwest known for the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897. Mining activity of the gold rush lasted until 1903 when production peaked after heavier equipment was brought in. Since then the Klondike has been mined on and off and today the legacy draws tourists to the region and contributes to its prosperity.
