Review from Eric B.
8/8/2008
Whitehorse is the traditional northern end of the Whitepass and Yukon Railroad that runs up from Skagway Alaska via Carcross (Yukon). During my short time in Whitehorse, I noticed a sizable tourist contingent who were on excursions from their Alaska/BC cruise ships. This was also evidenced by Holland America buses all over the place and folks like my parents searching for coffee at 6 AM (when Tim's opens).
And as expected, there are a lot of schlock souvenir choices throughout the downtown. And if you're looking for gold (afterall this is the Klondike), it's expensive considering the world price and the current US/Canadian exchange rate. Note: Murdoch's probably has the most comprehensive selection of gold pieces in Whitehorse.
The North End Gallery does not sell schlock. They offer a large and handsome selection of artwork, sculpture, jewellery, ceramics, and crafts created by artists living throughout northern Canada, but primarily the Yukon. I found some nice quality gifts there and was aided well by their very knowledgable and friendly staff. I was very happy with my experience here.
