The Faro Travel Guide
Wildlife, wilderness, and the Yukon's unexpected arts town
Faro is the Yukon's most surprising town. Built as a company town for what was once the world's largest open-pit lead-zinc mine, it has reinvented itself as a wildlife destination and arts community — and the herds of Fannin sheep and moose that wander its outskirts are about as unexpected as a town council that funds a summer arts residency. This guide is for the traveller willing to go a little further off the main road.
