Mayo - Yukon, BC

Mayo, Yukon is located in the central part of the Yukon Territory. Our area, which is in the Na Cho Nyak Dun traditional territory, is marked on tourist maps as "The Silver Trail". The highway serving our region -- also called the Silver Trail -- connects the communities of Stewart Crossing, Mayo, Keno City, and the mining ghost town of Elsa.
The Silver Trail highway leaves the Klondike highway at Stewart Crossing. This side trip slows the pace of a hectic trip with sensational scenery and the availability of many small-scale hiking, fishing, berry picking and camping opportunities. Your journey through the Yukon's best kept secret starts after turning onto Highway 11 at the Stewart Crossing Bridge. On the paved two-lane highway to Mayo, you will catch glimpses of the Stewart River and several pullouts allow for spectacular views of glaciated terrain.

The Village of Mayo offers all the services a traveller needs, including two motels, eating facilities, post office, liquor store, propane and gas, grocery store, swimming pool, nursing station, RCMP, airport, and float plane services. There is also a lodge located at Halfway Lakes, 26 km north of Mayo.

The Village of Mayo operates the Binet House Interpretive Centre which houses a collection of historic photos, interpretive information and an extensive geology display, including sections on permafrost, bedrock geology, rock deformation, glacial history, hard rock and placer mining. There is also a 3-D relief map of the area. Be sure to pick up your colour brochure with map of the area at the Binet House.
