Carcross
A small First Nations town in Canada's Yukon, between two lakes, with colorful carved totem poles, an old railway station, and lakeside beaches.
Carcross lies between Bennett Lake and Nares Lake in the Yukon, about 105 km from Skagway. It is the home of the Carcross/Tagish First Nation. The town's Commons square features brightly colored totem carvings and craft shops. It preserves the old White Pass railway station, the oldest store in the Yukon, and sandy beaches by the lake. Visitors can drive the South Klondike Highway or take the White Pass railway. A passport and Canadian visa are required.
