Ross River Attractions
After 360 km (224 mi.) the highway arrives in Ross River on the south bank of the Pelly River. Ross River lies at the junction of Campbell Highway and Canol Road, the latter providing the link between Whitehorse via Ross River to the Selwyn and Mackenzie Mountains in the adjoining Northwest Territories. North of Watson Lake the town of Ross River is the nearest tourist center and place where anglers and hunters can obtain supplies and provisions. Most of the 400 inhabitants are Kaska Indians. Its convenient situation at the mouth of the river of the same name has meant that Pelly River has grown in importance as a point from which to explore for minerals and other natural resources in the central Yukon.
Tours in the unspoilt mountains and flights - such as those offered by Flying Service Ross River- over the scenically charming valleys of Ross and Pelly River are much to be recommended.
