Grey Mountain
Mountain east of the city. A gravel road climbs to the ridge, offering views over Whitehorse, the Yukon River valley and the surrounding peaks.
Grey Mountain rises to about 1,494 metres. From the eastern residential area you can drive a gravel road to a parking spot on the ridge, then walk across the alpine tundra to the summit, about 1 hour one way. In summer, wildflowers and ground squirrels are everywhere. In autumn the tundra turns orange-red, and the view stretches all the way to Schwatka Lake and distant mountains. The road is rough, so high-clearance vehicles are recommended. The weather changes quickly, so bring a windproof jacket.
