Dawson City River Hostel
The hostel in Dawson City is located high above the banks of the Yukon River overlooking Dawson City. We have a collection of log cabins most of them directly overlooking the Yukon River. The rooms in the dorm cabins are larger than in most hostels with only either 5 or 6 beds and every guest has their private locker. There are eight private rooms/cabins for either one or two people or families. No charge for children if occupying the same room as the parents and some of the rooms are large enough not only for a couple but also up to 3 smaller

The Town of the City of Dawson or Dawson City is a town in the Yukon Territory of Canada, The current population is approximately 2,020. The area draws some 60,000 visitors each year. The locals generally refer to it simply as 'Dawson', but the tourist industry generally refers to it as 'Dawson City' (partly to differentiate it from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, which is at mile 0 of the Alaska Highway).
The townsite was named in January 1897 after noted Canadian geologist George M. Dawson, who had explored and mapped the region in 1887. It served as the Yukon's capital from the territory's founding in 1898 until 1952, when the seat was moved to Whitehorse.
