Keno
City lies nestled in the mountains at the end of the Silver Trail. Its beautiful
surroundings and "off the beaten track" setting have inspired several
artists to settle here, boosting the population to 30. Take a walking tour
through Keno City and you are taking a "stroll through history".
Experience northern friendliness and hospitality in a truly unique frontier town.

And
while in town, be sure to visit the Keno City Mining Museum, one of the finest
museums in the territory. There are self-contained guest cabins (B&B) in
town, a historic hotel, a unique tavern, a snack bar, a bakery with cafe (located
in an old log cabin) and two art studios.

A
drive up Keno Hill to the famous signpost is not to be missed. The road winds
its way to an elevation of 6000 feet, and the view from the top is well worth
the trip. Keno City offers the outdoor enthusiast unspoiled nature and quiet
solitude year-round. A network of trails criss-crosses the landscape through
historic mine sites, offering some of the most spectacular mountain vistas in
the North. You can hike or bike in the summer; cross-country ski or snowmobile
in the winter. There are trails for every level of ability. The many lakes and
rivers nearby provide great fishing and canoeing. Wildlife viewing is plentiful
here. Our sunsets are breathtaking all year round. And the northern lights,
which show themselves from the end of August through April, are awesome! The
well maintained gravel road to Keno City is open year-round.
