Coming to the Yukon
In the past it was the gold rush
to make a fortune with a claim.
Many people came to Whitehorse,
some by foot, by ship or by train.
–
Most of them left poor the Yukon.
Just a few could reach this goal.
They could not enjoy the beauty
which this land can give the soul.
–
Fortunately the times have changed,
other reasons now to come.
Fishing, hunting, hiking, biking
but also still panning for some.
–
Dreaming now about the Yukon
means to see this breathtaking place
diving into this unique nature
with this very own pace.
While the gold rush it was a struggle
now it’s just an easy flight.
And when Condor is reaching Whitehorse
you get as a welcome a beautiful sight.
–
Dreams come true with this arrival,
pick up the motor home and drive
through the spectacular famous Yukon
which is larger than the life.
