The Mayo Travel Guide

The Silver Trail, Keno City, and the Yukon's silver-mining country

Subtitle: The Silver Trail, Keno City, and the Yukon's silver‑mining country Mayo sits on the banks of the Stewart River, the hub of one of Canada's most significant historic silver‑mining regions and the jumping‑off point for Keno City — one of the Yukon's most atmospheric near‑ghost towns. This is an undervisited corner of the territory that rewards anyone willing to leave the main highway and follow a quieter road. What follows is exactly what I'd hand a friend before they turned off the Klondike Highway and onto the Silver Trail.
