The Mayo Travel Guide

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 base for exploring Keno City — one of the Yukon's most atmospheric near-ghost towns. This is an undervisited corner of the territory that rewards those who take the time to leave the main highway. This guide is everything I'd hand a friend before they turned off the Klondike Highway and onto the Silver Trail.
