Yukon Discovery Tour -6.5 HR

Tour begins by climbing the mountainous Klondike Highway, driving by mini-bus, north to the US/Canadian border, paralleling the 1898 Gold Rush Trail to the White Pass summit at 3292 feet. Along the way view coastal rainforest, magnificent waterfalls, glaciers, and snow capped peaks. We make multiple stops at scenic views like Moore Creek bridge, Welcome to Alaska sign, Summit Lake, and Tormented Valley.

Once in Canada, we journey through spectacular scenery of dramatic lakes encircled by mile-high mountains and the Northern Boreal forest wilderness. Stunning Tutshi and Tagish Lakes, the Welcome to the Yukon sign and Bove Island viewpoints are all great photo stops. In the Carcross area, visit the small village on the shores of historic Lake Bennett, see the "World's Smallest Desert" and marvel at the gorgeous green Emerald Lake. We watch for potential wildlife, including bears, all along our route. For lunch, we stop at Wild Adventure Yukon (formerly Caribou Crossing) where you'll see an educational wildlife gallery, featuring over 100 Yukon and Ice Age taxidermy animals, including the world's largest mounted polar bear. Also a Gold Rush and Canadian Mountie history displays. There is a Yukon gift shop for souvenirs. Lunch is delicious BBQ chicken, baked potato, coleslaw, homemade bun, coffee or tea, and yummy donuts. (Vegetarian/Vegan/Gluten Free option of lentil curry and rice available). This tour is our most complete and most popular. There is world class scenery around every turn that you'll never forget!
