Welcome to Carcross

Klondike prospectors who conquered the infamous Chilkoot Pass on their way to the Klondike gold fields took a much needed break in the small settlement of Caribou Crossing; today known as Carcross. The name derives from the magnificent herds of caribou that crossed through the area on their historical annual migration. Today Carcross is a thriving community known for its tourism opportunities and remarkable outdoor adventure sports.

If you are thinking of living, working, starting a business or visiting Carcross, we invite you to explore our Community Profile. It provides information ranging from quality of life to economic opportunities, including statistical data, videos, photos and more.
