    WHITEHORSE — Prince William and Kate will spend the fifth day of their Canadian tour taking in the wild beauty of Yukon.
     
    The royal couple are set to visit the MacBride Museum of Yukon History in Whitehorse today, when they'll meet kids who are involved with an indigenous language program and take part in a storytelling activity.
     
    The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will also view a healing totem, meet a young carver and check out a youth art festival.
     
    Later in the day, the royals will head to Carcross, a picturesque community of about 300 people, located south of Whitehorse on the Klondike Highway.
     
    First Nations elders will welcome the pair, who will then spend some time touring the area before travelling to Montana Mountain to attend a mountain bike festival.
     
     
    Today will be William and Kate's final day in the northern territory, and they will return to Victoria following their visit to Carcross.
     
    The royals arrived in Whitehorse on Tuesday evening, where they inspected a group of Canadian Rangers and Junior Rangers. William and his brother, Prince Harry, were made honorary members of the reserve unit in 2009.
     
    Earlier in the day, the duke and duchess spent time in Kelowna, B.C., where they unveiled a plaque marking the 10th anniversary of the University of British Columbia's Okanagan campus and watched the women's volleyball team play.
     
    The couple also visited a winery and took in cooking demonstrations by some of the province's celebrity chefs.
