Boat is fascinating, along with the stories of the men that had operated it. Parks Canada guides were a rich source of historical anecdotes, too. Very worthwhile tour for glimpses into the history of the Klondike. More

If there were one thing to see in Whitehorse that you wouldn't want to miss, this would be it! The government has spent vast sums of money in restoration, and the result is a great site for all the family. More

This is a excellent attraction by Parks Canada, and well worth the nominal fee. Make sure to watch the video in the wall tent to put the whole experience into context. More

I visit the SS Klondike twice since I lived here in Whitehorse. The story of the paddle wheelers are a very important part of the gold rush and the formation of the city itself.
