A backpacking trip into Yukon's Kluane National Park Reserve has been the most adventurous, physically and mentally challenging yet rewarding trip I have ever done in my life so far. And here is why. I saw what I expected to see - the enormous glacier; what I didn't expect to see, but was hopeful I would - the Northern Lights; and what I kind of knew I could see, but was hopeful I would not - a huge male grizzly bear in the wild. Details about these and other things I've seen in Kluane National Park Reserve - in my article.

North has always fascinated me for its remoteness and wildness, so as soon as I got a chance to fly to any possible destination in North America, my immediate reaction was to pick the Canadian North. Because for me, nothing is more exotic than it. I'm inviting you to take a look at the Yukon's capital and its biggest city - Whitehorse.

"Larger than life" has been an official tourism motto of Yukon - one of Canada's most remote yet absolutely stunning places. Its unparalleled beauty, welcoming people and unspoiled nature made me fall in love with Yukon, and I've been wanting to come back ever since I left it. And I'm not alone: in fact, many visitors to Yukon felt the same way. Some people, I was told, even throw their return ticket away to stay in Yukon forever.
