Yukon Quest Map

New trail for 2025

This trail respects the spirit of the original Yukon Quest, honoring Yukon’s dogsledding traditions and the legacy of Teslin’s sled dog racing during Rendezvous.

Why the change?

The Yukon Quest board places the highest priority on the safety of dogs, mushers and the volunteers who help put in the trail. It is clear that old routes no longer work, particularly near Whitehorse, Eagle Rock
