TRACKS – Travel Documentaries (January 30, 2024)50 kilometers east of the Alaska border in the heart of Canada’s Yukon Territory, the Klondike Highway leads to Dawson City.

Dawson City is located on the shores of the Klondike river, a northern gem surrounded by a soaring rugged landscape holding secrets of the past.
