Yukon Territory /jukn/ or the Yukon is the westernmost and smallest of Canada's three federal territories. It was named after the Yukon River. The word Yukon means "Great River" in Gwichin. The territory's capital is Whitehorse.

The territory was created in 1898 as the Yukon. The federal government's most recent update of the Yukon Act in 2003 confirmed "Yukon", rather than "Yukon Territory", as the current usage standard. The largest ethnic group in the territory is English, followed by First Nations. Yukon law recognizes First Nations languages, but only considers French and English as official languages.

At 5,959 metres (19,551ft), Yukon's Mount Logan, in Kluane National Park and Reserve, is the highest mountain in Canada and the second-highest of North America (after Mount McKinley in the U.S. state of Alaska). The territory's climate is Arctic and subarctic, resulting in long cold winters, short summers, and little precipitation.

The sparsely populated Yukon abounds with snow-melt lakes and perennially snow-capped mountains. Although the climate is Arctic and subarctic and very dry, with long, cold winters, the long sunshine hours in short summer allow hardy crops and vegetables, flowers and fruit to grow.

The territory is the approximate shape of a right triangle, bordering the U.S. state of Alaska to the west for 1,210km (752 miles) mostly along longitude 141 W, the Northwest Territories to the east and British Columbia to the south. Its northern coast is on the Beaufort Sea. Its ragged eastern boundary mostly follows the divide between the Yukon Basin and the Mackenzie River drainage basin to the east in the Mackenzie mountains. Whitehorse is the territorial capital.

Most of the territory is in the watershed of its namesake, the Yukon River. The southern Yukon is dotted with a large number of large, long and narrow glacier-fed alpine lakes, most of which flow into the Yukon River system. The larger lakes include Teslin Lake, Atlin Lake, Tagish Lake, Marsh Lake, Lake Laberge, Kusawa Lake and Kluane Lake. Bennett Lake on the Klondike Gold Rush trail is a lake flowing into Nares Lake, with the greater part of its area within the Yukon.

Canada's highest point, Mount Logan (5,959m/19,551 ft), is in the territory's southwest. Mount Logan and a large part of the Yukon's southwest are in Kluane National Park and Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Other national parks include Ivvavik National Park and Vuntut National Park in the north.

Other watersheds include the Mackenzie River and the AlsekTatshenshini, as well as a number of rivers flowing directly into the Beaufort Sea. The two main Yukon rivers flowing into the Mackenzie in the Northwest Territories are the Liard River in the southeast and the Peel River and its tributaries in the northeast.

Notable widespread tree species within the Yukon are the Black Spruce and White Spruce. Many trees are stunted because of the short growing season and severe climate.

Twin Arms Apartments is under new management and they have worked to try and alleviate the bed bug problem in my apartment. Fortunately, I believe the bugs are gone now.

Bed bugs were present in Twin Arms Apartments at 1205 Yukon St Apartment #102, Lakewood CO 80214 from January to April 2010. A professional exterminator was used twice to spray for the bed bugs. Hopefully they are gone now.

I started to develop welts in January on my arms and had no idea where they were coming from, so I went to a dermatologist. They biopsied the welts and determined they were hives, but couldn't tell me what they were from, so I just dealt with the welts.

I had never h

ad to deal with anything like this, so I didn't know what to look for (i.e., the black spots on bedding, etc.). I discovered a few bugs in late February and early March but didn't know what they were. I went to the Denver Butterfly Pavilion in early March and they had a poster with a description of what bed bugs were and the signs to look for. They also had a sample of a bug, so I finally knew what they were. Thank you to the Pavilion. I contacted my apartment complex and they had my apartment sprayed by an exterminator in mid March. When I kept seeing the bugs they sprayed again two weeks later. I am not seeing any signs as of mid April, so I think they are gone.

This has been the worst experience I have ever been through. The psychological stress of not being comfortable in my own bed was the worst. But, having to prepare for the exterminator was also stressful. I'm glad it is done, and now I know what to look for in the future.
