There are many competitions, but not many like this. The Yukon Gold Panning Championship is an annual competition hosted by the Klondike Visitors Association. The event is a celebration of the Yukon’s heritage as well as the mining industry that still thrives here today. Gold panners of all ages and levels of experience are welcome to participate. 7 Skill categories range from never having held a gold pan in their hands to those who make a living mining. From beginner to professional, each category rewards a first, second, and third place- all participants get to keep all the gold they find.⁠

Have you tried gold panning? ⁠

#TBT An Iconic landmark in Dawson City is the Moosehide Slide or Ëdhä dädhëchą, in the Hän language meaning “weathered moosehide hanging”. The landslide is a distinctive feature of Dawson’s landscape and a signal you have arrived in Dawson City since the Goldrush. ⁠
Many have wondered how the slide came to be. There are many versions of the Hän foundation story describing the origin of the slide. This one was told by Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Elder Mary McLeod in 1974. “In early days there were cannibals everywhere and they bothered people. So, one time people climb hill near where is now Moosehide to get above them. Lots of big trees on these hills that time. People had only axe made of sharp rock in those days. They cut down the biggest tree with stone axe and they throw that tree down the hill on cannibals. That tree start big slide. It kill all the cannibals. That slide is shaped like hide of moose so people call the place Moosehide.”⁠
