    The Yukons best kept secret

    Tucked away in the Yukon's central-southeastern region, the mountain community of Faro is a place of unspoiled beauty and rich northern character. An abundance of clear blue lakes, mountain ranges, winding rivers and lush green valleys make Faro a year round playground for the outdoor sports enthusiast. Faro is also an ideal base for wildlife viewing as it is situated in one of the most densely concentrated wildlife areas in the North. Each year, Faro hosts a spectacular Crane and Sheep Viewing Festival on the second weekend in May, and a popular golf tournament in July.

    Faro is accessible by the Robert Campbell Highway—a 362-mile alternate route that travels through beautiful forested areas, passes near large lakes, has views of distant mountain ranges and connects some of the territory's smaller communities. Travellers are advised that there are limited services along this route and they should prepare by fueling up at either Carmacks or Ross River.

    For more information about this charming community, visit the Town of Faro website, www.faroyukon.ca.
