Yukon
Whitehorse's home territory
Yukon is a territory in northwestern Canada, bordering Alaska.
The Yukon River, one of North America's longest, flows through it.
The region is associated with the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s, which drew thousands of prospectors to the area.
Yukon also appears as a vehicle model name, suggesting ruggedness and frontier spirit.
