The Government of Yukon is pleased to welcome the federal announcement that the Little Gold Creek port of entry will be open for an additional four weeks this summer season.
Located at the Top of the World Highway near Dawson City, this border crossing will open on Friday, May 17, and remain open until Sunday, September 15. Seasonal hours of operation will be from 9 am to 7 pm (Yukon Time), seven days a week. Yukoners are reminded that Yukon time is one hour ahead of Alaska.
The extended season will allow travellers to use the crossing during the long weekends in May and September. All these changes will apply in future years.
Yukoners and visitors are advised to be mindful of adverse weather conditions, as they may impact opening and closing days. For more information visit the Canada Border Services Agency Directory of Offices and Services or call 1-800-461-9999.
The Little Gold Creek border crossing is widely used by Yukoners and travellers alike to experience Dawson City and our incredible northern landscapes. Extending the season means more time for tourists to enjoy the midnight sun. I wish to recognize the hard work of our industry partners, particularly the members of our local Canada Border Services Agency office, in successfully advocating for this change. I’m excited about this change and look forward to seeing it bolster our coming tourism season.
