Yukon Territory The triangle-shaped Yukon territory is bordered on the N by the Beaufort Sea of the Arctic Ocean, on the E by the Northwest Territories, on the S by British Columbia and Alaska, and on the W by Alaska. The highest point in the Yukon is Mt. Logan, 19,551 ft (5,959 m) high, part of the Coast Ranges in the southwest. Although most of the territory is a watershed for the Yukon River and its tributaries, the northern and southeastern regions drain east into the Mackenzie River system. Immediately south of the desolate arctic coast the country is uninhabited and generally unknown. The other parts of the territory have great natural beauty, with snow-fed lakes backed by perpetually white-capped mountains and forests and streams abounding with wildlife. Kluane National Park (est. 1972) is in the St. Elias Mts. Winters are long and cold, with low humidity. During the short summers the longer day and surprisingly warm sun bring a profusion of wildflowers and enable the hardier grains and vegetables to mature. The few settlements are situated on the riverbanks. The capital and largest town is

Its population is 23,205 (Yukon Bureau of Statistics Dec 2004). Whitehorse is at kilometre 1489 of the Alaska Highway and is the terminus of the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway from Skagway, Alaska. At the head of navigation on the Yukon River, the city was an important supply and stage center during the Klondike Gold Rush. It has been the territorial capital since 1952, when the seat was moved from Dawson City after the construction of the Klondike Highway. The city gets its name from the Whitehorse rapids, which were said to look like the mane of a white horse. The rapids have disappeared under Schwatka Lake behind a hydroelectric dam, which was completed in 1957. Nowadays Whitehorse is a government town, with excellent facilities for visitors and locals to enjoy. It is the home of the main campus of Yukon College. A $45 million (CAN) Multiplex centre is being built for the Canada Winter Games in 2007. Whitehorse also previously hosted the 1972, 1980, 1986, 1992 and 2000 Arctic Winter Games.

Although the climate is arctic and subarctic and very dry, with long cold winters, the long sunshine hours in short summer allow hardy crops and vegetables, along with a profusion of flowers and fruit to blossom.

Yukon geography The Dalton Trail is a trail that runs between the Pacific Ocean at Pyramid Harbor, west of Haines, Alaska in the United States and Fort Selkirk , in the Yukon Territory of Canada . It is 396 km (246 miles) long. The Dalton Trail should not be confused with the James Dalton Highway , a highway built in the late 1900s that leads to the North Slope of Alaska. Originally, the Chilkat group of Tlingit controlled the trail, which they used for trade with the Athabascan people of the interior. They called the trail "grease trail" after the eulachon oil (extracted from the tiny candlefish ) that was the most important item of trade on the Chilkoot side. Each Tlingit chief had an exclusive Athabascan trading partner. Tlingits took eulachon oil and returned with furs, hides and copper nuggets gathered by the Athabascans. Trading parties often lasted a month or more and often consisted of as many as 100 men, each of whom would carry a 160 kg (100 pound) load. Upon the arrival of Europeans, the Chilkat acted as middlemen between the traders and Athabascans and became quite wealthy.

Extractions: Search: Energy Mines and Resources All Government Sites Soils Yukon soils are generally deficient in nitrogen and phosphorus. Potassium and sulphur abundance is often dependent on local geology and is difficult to predict. Since 1984 more than half of the soils tested by the Yukon Agriculture Branch have been deficient in potassium. The most common micro-nutrient deficiencies are boron and magnesium. Soils throughout the Yukon are low in organic matter, and salinity has been identified as a problem in some localized areas. Permafrost is found throughout the Yukon varying from sporadic discontinuous in southern agriculture areas and increasing to extensive discontinuous at the northern extreme of agriculture activity in the Yukon. Geography The Yukon is part of the Canadian cordilleran region characterized by mountainous terrain and the presence of glaciers and icefields in some areas. Agriculture is limited to the major river valleys including the Yukon, Takhini, Pelly, Stewart and Liard. For the most part, agricultural activity is located on river sediments. In the Takhini and Dezadeash valleys typical agricultural soils are formed on silts and clays deposited in glacial Lake Champagne.
