In the background, a large forested hill, increasing in height to the left, fronts a blue-gray sky. In the foreground, a road with no markings is at the base of the photograph, on the other side of which are four buildings. The leftmost building is obscured by a fence, and both obscured by the building to its right. That two-storey building has wooden steps with a white railing leading to the front door, on either side of which are windows. Above these is another row of windows, and above those the name "The Front St. Inn". The next building has the signage "Yukon Hotel" above two windows flaking a balcony door. The cream-coloured facade of the building matches the balcony railing, which is secured by four burgundy posts. Below the balcony is the front entrance, with cream-coloured doors flanked by large windows. The right side of the log building is visible extending to the background to the right, four equally spaced windows on each floor. The fourth building is partially behind and to the right of the Yukon Hotel.
