Description

Nestled in the mountains in central Yukon, the Keno Hill area was once host to one of the world's richest silver deposits. The many tracks and trails, no longer used for mining, are here now for experienced hikers, mountain bikers and winter sports enthusiasts. High (1,848 m) and exposed, the top of Keno Hill stayed above the glaciers in the last ice age. Descendants of plants and insects (including butterflies) that were here during the ice ages remain in the meadows. Visit in late spring or early summer and take advantage of the long hours of sunlight to hike late into the evening. Listen for the birds singing after the sun disappears
