Skagway White Pass Summit and Beyond Tour

Excursion Overview

100 miles roundtrip through the beautiful wilderness to the Yukon border!

You'll travel up the Klondike Highway, viewing impressive scenery as you go, from the breathtaking coastal mountain ranges to stunning waterfalls. Local landmarks include the White Pass & Yukon Railroad route, Pitchfork Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Moore Creek Bridge, and the 3292-foot White Pass Summit with the Welcome to Alaska sign.

At the Summit, we enter into British Columbia, Canada, and the "Tormented" Valley, a wilderness of subarctic alpine tundra and beautiful lakes. Beyond the Tormented Valley is the wilderness of the northern Boreal forest with large Tutshi and Tagish lakes with panoramic views at many stops. As we travel through the habitat of the Boreal forest, we watch for potential native wildlife roaming the spectacular scenery, including bears. The turnaround point is the Yukon border and the Welcome to the Yukon sign for a great photo.

As a bonus, we include a stop at the Yukon Suspension Bridge! View the Tutshi River canyon from above while crossing the bridge and learn more about the area with the educational displays. A snack bar is available to purchase food and then we visit the Yukon gift shop for mementos. This stop makes the tour unique among tour options that do have a similar itinerary.

This tour was a beautiful and informative trip from skagway through the Yukon territory. Our guide had lots of information to for us. We went through the Canadian border and stopped at the suspension bridge. We saw waterfalls and lakes. Mountain goats were plentiful on the mountainside. Snapped pics at the welcome to Alaska sign and Yukon sign.

My brother and I had a wonderful time taking the bus up into the Yukon. Our Driver, Brooke, was very informative and was stop anytime if we saw something we wanted to take a picture of. We were able to see the suspension bridge as well as she went beyond where we should have stopped because she thought she saw an Eagle. I highly recommend taking this tour versus taking the train because we were able to see so much more than the people on the train.

Garrett was our driver and he was fantastic. He was funny and knowledgeable about the area and made plenty of photo stops and even took photos for guests. The views from the suspension bridge are breathtaking, we went in September when the leaves were starting to change and it was gorgeous. Cannot recommend this tour enough

What a great tour. Only 18 people on our mini bus that was driven and guided by Beverly. She had a wealth of knowledge to share and was a great storyteller. We had many stops along the way to photograph the beautiful and changing landscape. This trip was booked separately from our cruise ship and was at a great price point. Highly recommend.
