The Yukon Territory

Post by that_guy »

I am curious about the yukon territory…, what was it like, what attractions were there (Yukon Yahoo, Logger's run, sas… scrambler)? I have only been to the park in later years so nothing is really left behind but bright paint… Any one want to help me out? :D

Old Yukon Territory was themed to be like a Canadian woodland atmosphere, I think.

Here are descriptions of a former Yukon Territory restaurant and artisan store from a late 1970s MGA brochure.

Klondike Cafe and Snowshoe Saloon - There's stick-to-yer-ribs hearty stews in the Cafe and pickles, peanuts, and a mug of frosty brew in the Saloon, plus a high-kicking show for all to watch.

Moosejaw Trading Co. - Head to the Yukon's wharf area and see the leather craftsmen, the assayer and printers plying their trades.
