Faro, Yukon

Faro is a small town in central Yukon, Canada, formerly the home of the largest open pit lead-zinc mine in the world as well as a significant producer of silver and other natural resource ventures.

Though these industries have declined over the past decade, Faro is attempting to attract eco-tourists to the region to view such animals as Dall's Sheep. Several viewing platforms have been constructed in and around the town.

Lorne Greene, famous for his work in Bonanza, once narrated a film about Faro called A New World In the Yukon.
