About Whitehorse

Whitehorse is a fantastic place to explore: there are a ton of events, museums, great restaurants and live entertainment, plus an endless possibility of outdoor adventures taking you into the mountains and down surrounding waterways.

The 2017 Men’s World Softball Championship might be the hottest ticket in town, but you can make your stay here even more memorable by checking out the area. For a town with a population of just 27,000, Whitehorse has a big-city’s worth of fun to be had.
