If you want to explore the surrounding Yukon landscape, a larger vehicle with off-road capacity, such as an SUV, is highly recommended. This type of vehicle is much easier to drive in difficult conditions, such as on dirt roads or roads with snow and ice on them, which you may encounter even during the summer months in Yukon. Even if you visit Whitehorse in the summer, a large vehicle with a more powerful engine will help you cross large distances more efficiently and will give you a better view of the road – perfect for enjoying the incredible scenery.
