Excursion Overview

A world-class tourist attraction, Yukon Suspension Bridge

This small group tour provides a wonderful opportunity to view the stunning scenery of the White Pass and the surrounding area with a local, high quality guide.

Meet your guide, board the comfortable vehicle and enjoy a short tour of Skagway's historic district before climbing steeply towards the Chilkoot Mountains. The dramatic scenery of the White Pass summit soon surrounds you. This is a wonderland of impressive peaks, azure lakes and stunted forests. The pace is unhurried; you will have ample time to enjoy the view with stops at choice scenic locations.

Past the summit visit the Yukon Suspension Bridge, where you can venture out onto the bridge to get stunning views of the turbulent waters of the Tutshi River below. Learn about the Gold Rush history and the natural history of the area. Walk along the boardwalk and immerse yourself in the miniature world of alpine wildflowers.

The tour will return to Skagway with an optional visit (time permitting) to the Gold Rush Cemetery and Lower Reid Falls. A short nature walk through the forest takes you to the base of Lower Reid Falls. The water drops over one hundred feet as it pours out of the forested granite mountainside above. Return to your ship having had an experience you won't forget.

This tour is typically available from May through September. Our excursions were designed for cruise ship passengers but are available to everyone.

Our tour guide picked us up promptly at the meeting place; there were 7 of us. He was a very good driver and he continuously shared information about the sights we were seeing from memory no cheat sheets. He also stopped at points along the way to allow us to take photos of the spectacular scenery that is just everywhere. He also offered to take photos of our entire group together, which was nice. We crossed into Canada and entered the Yukon time zone and then had to go through Canadian Customs, which was a breeze, and then we arrived at the bridge. We had about 45 minutes to explore the bridge and the gift shops before we had to leave to return. The scenery at the bridge, like everywhere else in Alaska, is just breathtaking and difficult to really take in. Pictures do not do it justice. The bridge itself seems very sturdy and safety precautions for fencing and so forth are first rate. I would recommend this attraction and the Alaska Shore Excursions company.

Our tour guide knocked it out of the park with her knowledge, showing us the best places to get amazing pictures and arriving at the suspension bridge at just the right time. Highly recommend.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the geography and history of the area and commented along our drive, making us feel most comfortable. The 11-passenger van was clean and comfortable for my family; booster seats were provided. We stopped in different scenic spots along the GoldRush Highway, and he helped us to take wonderful photos of our family in those incredible locations, including the famous Alaska sign. We never felt rushed. I did not feel like I was 'missing out' on the Railway excursion. The Yukon suspension bridge in itself is impressive, but it's a quick moment only to walk through it. The site is well managed, though, and it makes for a great moment to pause and observe the landscape through the excursion. The drive through the Tormented Valley itself was the real star of this excursion, and the scenic landscapes are most impressive.
