Carcross Desert (mi 66.6)

The Yukon is home to what has been called "the smallest desert in the world." Less than 643 acres, this desert is the remains of the sandy bottom of a glacial lake left after our last ice age. The dry climate and the strong wind conditions is what created the sand dunes and allows very little vegetation to grow.
