Keno City, Yukon - a town at the end of the road

Keno City, Yukon is home to colorful characters, stunning scenery and living history. Once a booming frontier mining town, Keno City was named after the popular gambling game. Today, this sleepy hamlet is a rustic cluster of buildings and home to an eclectic mix of artists, miners and old timers with fewer than 20 full-time residents.

Thanks for showing the Signpost. I was married there many decades ago -glad to see it still survives. Keno City has grown! In the early '70s there were 60 residents including dogs.

I lived in Elsa so Keno brings back so many fond memories.

[@HowardYoungEagleflight]

Beautiful place I have been there

[@motorhomemike4014]

i had lots of fun in Keno over the years i mined in elsa and firefighter in mayo but we would always do road trips to the keno hotel

[@annetteslife]

evony tree my family moved from Elsa thirty years ago and my dad who is Lloyd Melnychuk continued mining until 2001 when he retired. I do not know if you knew him. He started working there in 1971. That would be so cool if you knew my father

They still mining gold up there?

[@annep4172]

There's gold in the creeks, but the Keno Hill mine was silver, lead, zinc. Trace gold paid the freight to Skagway.

[@gladheateher4now]

@@annep4172 Thanks for that.

Sad to hear the Keno City Hotel burned down :(

[@magda5820]

[@PeterNGloor]

the road up to the Hill is not driveable for certain cars in wet weather. We could not drive it.

Now that's the REAL Canada, I can't wait till I finish Collage & University then I'm moving to Whitehorse. I can't wait to leave the Canada wanna be (Ontario) and move up to Yukon
