Pelly Crossing

Visitors can make the journey from Minto by boat to visit the original structure down the Yukon River at Fort Selkirk, an important historic and cultural site for the Northern Tutchone people.

Fort Selkirk, located near the confluence of Pelly and Yukon Rivers, was virtually abandoned.

Pelly Crossing has a severely continental subarctic climate (Dfc) with short but warm summers, but with the vast majority of the year being dominated by the bitterly cold winters.

There is a school, curling rink, baseball field, swimming pool, and youth centre.

[citation needed] Every February, Pelly Crossing hosts a checkpoint for the long-distance Yukon Quest sled dog race.
