	King Peak
		King Peak, located just off the west edge of the Mount Logan massif, is the fourth highest peak in Canada.
		The mountain is named after William King who was a commissioner of the International Boundary Commission and director of the Dominion Obeservatory from 1890 to 1905.
		Allan Carpe, who was part of the first ascent party on Mount Logan, noted: "The most impressive views being of glorious King Peak, whose precipitous sides and terrible aretes would seem to defy hope of conquest."

	Wildlife
		King salmon inhabit the entire river with significant spawning populations occurring as far upstream as the Yukon Territory.
		Distribution of salmon-spawning areas in the Yukon River drainage is not completely understood due to the sparse habitation of most of this region, the late arrival of certain runs in upstream areas each season, and the turbidity of Yukon River drainage waters which prevents visual counts.
		The Yukon River is used by king, silver, and chum salmon that migrate upstream to distant spawning grounds.

	Chinook Salmon: Long Live the King!
		King salmon (chinook is the official species name, but most everyone in the fish business uses king) is the biggest, most valuable, and for my money the best-tasting of the six species of Pacific salmon.
		Two of Alaska's largest king salmon fisheries occur in late spring and early summer, when the fish are caught in nets at the mouths of rivers as they prepare to spawn.
		Copper River kings, which peak in supply from mid-May to early June, have gotten an enormous amount of press in recent years, especially in Seattle, though some cognoscenti prefer the even larger kings from the Yukon fishery a few weeks later.

		George was not well enough to face a Yukon election campaign and it was decided that Martha should run in his place, as an Independent Conservative – political pinch-hitter for George.
		Martha Louise died at the age of 91, in Whitehorse, October 31, 1957 and was buried from the Old Log Church in the Masonic plot of the Whitehorse cemetery downtown.
		The tragedy had a terrible impact on the Yukon since many key players from the Yukon’s mining and transportation industries were headed south after the summer season.

		Canada’s highest peak, North America’s biggest mountain range, and the world’s largest non-polar icefields all lie behind the forbidding façade of mountains that provides the town’s spectacular backdrop.
		Skagway, of course, is the place that gave thousands of gold rush stampeders their first sobering (but not necessarily sober) taste of life on the northern frontier.
		Here, they began their arduous journeys over the coastal passes and into the Yukon interior—that is, assuming they weren’t fleeced by the notorious Soapy Smith, whose gang of criminals once made Skagway rougher than any town in the Wild West.

	Mountains of Canada - Names : Canadian Geographic Magazine
		Official Canadian place names are approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada, but many of our mountain monikers were suggested by the mountaineers who first climbed them or the geological surveyors inspired by their summits.
		In the Coast Mountains north of Vancouver, the peaks of Mount Eurydice and Mount Orpheus are separated by the Styx Glacier.
		The Yukon also has Jubilee Mountain, named in 1887 for Queen Victoria's 50-year jubilee, and Mount King George and Mount Queen Mary, named in 1935 for George V's and his consort's silver jubilee, or 25 years of rule.

	The History of Whitehorse, Yukon Territory (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Of the many modes of transportation developed during the gold rush, the most practical was the White Pass & Yukon Route, a narrow-gauge railway connecting Skagway, at tidewater, with Whitehorse, at the head of navigation on the Yukon River.
		It was still the head of navigation on the Yukon River, although with the construction of the Alaska Highway, roads began to supersede rivers.
		In 1951 the federal government amended the Yukon Act, increasing the number of members on the Yukon Council and providing for two of them to represent Whitehorse.

	King of the Yukon, (So I Thought) by William Weatherstone
		The moment arrived, and this great convoy to the Yukon was on it's way.
		The bottle of 3.2% US beer in the Yukon was going for $1.25 a pint.
