Soak up the natural wonders of the Yukon as you enjoy a scenic ride exploring the crossroads of the Klondike. Take advantage of amazing photo opportunities and capture the true beauty of sweeping landscapes, towering mountains, alpine lakes, and hanging glaciers.
Become an expert of Skagway starting with a ride through historic Downtown Skagway, which is part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park. You'll learn all about the town's gold rush history and enjoy stories about stampeders who passed through, hoping to strike it rich in the Yukon!
The next stop will be at an overlook spot that allows you to view Downtown Skagway in a whole different way. Then we'll head north up the Klondike Highway through lush rainforests and cascading waterfalls, toward the summit of the White Pass. Once we've reached the summit, you'll experience dramatic alpine landscapes and afterward, we'll head through Canadian customs into British Columbia with several stops along the way including the "Yukon Territory" sign.
An hour in, we'll reach Carcross, Yukon nestled on the banks of Lake Bennett. You'll have free time to explore the local shops and views of the lake made famous by the Klondike Gold Rush. On our journey back to Skagway, we'll make a stop at the "Welcome to Alaska" sign.
