Ridge Road Heritage Trail

A must for hiking, walking and camping enthusiasts, the Ridge Road Trail offers a rewarding challenge with stunning views and deep-rooted history. Climbing 500 metres in elevation, this 30-kilometre trail was originally constructed in 1899 as the first government-built wagon road in the Yukon, once serving as a major supply route to the Klondike goldfields.

Winding through rugged terrain between Bonanza and Hunker Creek, the trail takes you past historic sites and remnants of the original highway, offering a glimpse into Dawson City's storied past. Plan for a two-day trek with backcountry camping options near each trailhead, and embrace a true Yukon wilderness adventure.
