Yukon
Whitehorse, YT, in terms of tourist attractions, is all about the Gold Rush, and the Klondike is one of the primary stops. On our way into town from the airport, we asked the shuttle driver, "What year was the Gold Rush?" He replied: "Which gold rush? There have been some in the past, but we're in the middle of one now." While most of Canada (and the world) is complaining about the economic climate, the Yukon is booming due to its extractive mineral industries. Still, everywhere we turned we saw remnants of the infrastructure of past "gold rushes."
