Destination of the Day
Canada's Yukon Territory
Canada's Yukon Territory is known for its remoteness, and for its astounding scenic beauty. It's a destination for adventure seekers and adrenaline junkies, and for those looking to escape the suffocating crush of the city. From floatplane flights to exploring the region's First Nation culture, there are a thousand ways to spend your time in the Yukon.
Catch the Northern Lights
There is a good reason that so many people have the Northern Lights on their bucket lists. That's because they are a sight that is almost unreal, taking over the sky in brilliant vistas of shifting colors. They can be seen in the Yukon any time from the end of August to early April, and dedicated Aurora Borealis tours put you in the best location to see this bucket list phenomenon firsthand.
Explore Kluane National Park
Home to Canada's highest peak (the 5,959-meter Mount Logan), Kluane National Park is high in southwest Yukon's mountains. The park is home to Canada's largest icefield and North America's most genetically diverse grizzly population. Backcountry hikers and rafters come to Kluane to explore the alpine passes on day hikes, ride the glacial rapids, or see the stunning scenery from the highway.
Tour the Alaska Highway
Designed to connect the contiguous U.S. with Alaska, construction on the highway began in 1942 during the height of World War II. Now paved in its entirety, it runs for 1,387 miles from Dawson Creek in British Columbia to Delta Junction in Alaska. Stops in the Yukon include the Continental Divide of the Americas, the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Center in Whitehorse, and the Signpost Forest at Watson Lake. The latter began in 1942, when a homesick U.S. soldier working on the road's construction put up a signpost for his hometown in Illinois. The tradition stuck, and today the "forest" includes more than 72,000 signs from all over the world, left by travelers making their own pilgrimage along the Alaska Highway.
Your Packing List
Pack a variety of sweaters, long-sleeved shirts, warm pants, and thermal undergarments you can mix and match to create different outfits.
Since the weather is typically wet across the country in March, you'll also need to bring a waterproof winter coat.
Waterproof shoes and snow boots are essential if you plan on hiking or camping.
El Bosque de Chapultepec, Mexico City's largest park, is considered the oldest urban park in America. Covering 1,600 acres, it's home to several significant historical sites, multiple museums, an amusement park, a zoo, and a variety of recreational spaces. Follow the road to the top of the hill overlooking Mexico City, where Chapultepec Castle houses the National History Museum, to get great views of the park and the city beyond.
