Living and Working in Faro

In the middle of vast, unspoiled wilderness, the small town of Faro, Yukon offers endless recreation, wildlife viewing, rivers, mountains, and a northern culture that’s like nothing you’ve experienced.

  • Fannin Sheep, found only in the Yukon and NWT, are celebrated each year at Faro’s Crane & Sheep Festival.
  • Tee Time! A remarkable 9-hole community golf course weaves through the town of Faro and is a unique experience for any golfer.
  • The Dena Cho Trail is a 67-kilometre multi-use trail that follows the traditional Kaska route connecting Faro and Ross River.
  • The Community of Ross River

    In the middle of breathtaking wilderness and sitting at the confluence of the Ross and Pelly Rivers this Kaska community has exciting rivers, unbeatable backcountry adventures and is a great place to experience Kaska culture. The area is populated with numerous species of wildlife including moose, mountain goats, mountain sheep, wolves, grizzlies and black bears.

  • Fossil footprints found near Ross River led to the discovery of four types of prehistoric animals that resided in the area 85 million years ago.
  • Meet the Faro mine site.

    It is located in south-central Yukon, near the town of Faro, on the traditional territory of the Kaska Nations, and upstream from Selkirk First Nation.
