The Keno City Travel Guide

A silver mining ghost town in the hills above the Silver Trail

Keno City is one of the Yukon's most atmospheric destinations: a former silver mining boomtown perched in the hills at the end of the Silver Trail, with a population that hovers around a dozen in winter and swells slightly in summer. The mining museum, the alpine meadows above town, and the palpable weight of history in the streets make it worth the 4-hour drive from Whitehorse for anyone who appreciates the genuinely remote.
