Welcome to Carcross

A small but historic community south of Whitehorse, Carcross is renowned for its strong Tlingit and Tagish heritage and its role in the Klondike Gold Rush. Today, it is a popular destination for visitors drawn to the world-famous Carcross Desert, the nearby mountains and lakes, and the rich cultural experiences offered at Carcross Commons and the local carving shed.
