International Hair Freezing Contest — Around the Festival

Whitehorse, the capital of Yukon, is a historic city — the Klondike Gold Rush — set on the Yukon River, minutes away from the hot springs where the competition is held.

To see around the festival

Miles Canyon

A few minutes from the centre of Whitehorse, the Yukon River is engulfed by the turquoise basalt cliffs. Robert Lowe's suspension bridge spans the canyon: it is the city's iconic point of view and the departure of beautiful hiking trails along the river.
