While I was in Whitehorse, I had the chance to visit the Yukon Wildlife Preserve. The conservation is about 15-20 minutes away from the city. According to its website, the preserve features “13 species of northern Canadian mammals in their natural environment. Encompassing over 700 acres with various natural habitats, the Yukon Wildlife Preserve offers unparalleled wildlife viewing and photo opportunities.”
We spent almost three hours walking around, snapping images and exploring the area. The moose were incredibly friendly, sticking their heads out to say hi, and grabbing the branches from our hands. We also ran into a little red fox, who raced down the hill, posed for photos and quickly fell asleep.
If you’re interested in wildlife, I highly recommend the stop. It’s a great value for the experience. Click here for more information.

Nice shots. I love the first one of that goat. As to the moose, that isn’t much of a fence. They can be very vicious animals.
The fence was actually quite sturdy! But the place is very large, and it was quite a beautiful preserve.
omg!! this is too amazing!! you capture the north so well!!
Have a great week!

A lovely set of wildlife pictures, Emily – I particularly like that little fox

Thank you so much! I did have a lot of fun, and great value for the price to spend the day there!
If I lived in that area, Emily, I would DEFINITELY go!!! In the meantime, how fun to see such a place through your eyes.
Thanks so much, Ginnie! I love being around animals, it always feels so peaceful. And I found this preserve was HUGE. For example, the mountain goats actually had a giant mountain. 🙂
that is amazing 🙂
