The North Klondike Highway, the modern route to the Klondike Gold Fields and beyond to Alaska, can be a lonely road, passing through some of the most pristine wilderness left in the world. Deep in the boreal forest, though, historic Moose Creek Lodge offers travelers an oasis of comfort, as it has for decades.

    One of the best-known roadhouses in the North, the lodge is located between Whitehorse and Dawson City, 229.1 miles north of the junction with the Alaska Highway.

    Built in 1960, and renovated in the summer of 2003 to meet modern travelers' expectations, but the legendary decor and the unique flair of this heritage roadhouse has remained. The changes include:

• The restaurant with warm and cozy atmosphere displays many antiques and artifacts.
• The original Trapper's Cabin is probably the smallest museum in the Yukon.
• Our rustic cabins (one of them is seen in the photo to the right) invite you to spend a night in the quiet wilderness, just like the first explorers did. They are operated in a bed-and-breakfast style.
• The property is a photographer's paradise, from the burl sculptures to the antique gas pumps and the little log smokehouse.

The lodge property is teeming with antiques and curiosities, some dating back to the Klondike Gold Rush.  Of special note is the City Queen cooking stove built in 1906, the old smokehouse, some hand-carved wooden sculptures and an old-fashioned telephone inexplicably installed about 12 feet up in a tree!  Did the tree grow or the caller just really tall?

There is also on 80-year-old trapper’s cabin with its sod roof and tools of the trapper’s trade inside.  It shows how trappers of the early days lived and it’s probably the smallest museum in the Yukon.
