Dawson City

Dawson City, at the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike rivers in Canada's Yukon territory, is defined by its role in the Klondike Gold Rush of 1896–1899, with frontier-era buildings, boardwalks, saloons, and a vintage sternwheeler still shaping the townscape. Once the territorial capital until 1952, this tiny riverside settlement sits close to mountains and near UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region, and carries a strong photographic appeal along its waterfront.
