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.

WHITE PASS SUMMIT & CITY TOUR DESCRIPTION: The narrated drive by mini-bus up the gorgeous Klondike Highway parallels much of the Gold Rush Trail of 1898 where stampeders struggled to climb carrying their ton of goods during winter snows. Along the route are spectacular vistas of steep mountains of coastal rainforest, waterfalls, and historical stops like Moore Creek Bridge and views of the WP&YR railroad. We make multiple stops for photos along the route. Breathe in the fresh mountain air and watch for wildlife. Upon cresting the White Pass Summit (3292 feet, 1003 meters), take in views of the sub-arctic alpine tundra of the "Tormented" Valley, with its crystal blue Summit Lake and snowcapped mountains. At the US/Canadian border, have a photo opportunity with the Welcome to Alaska sign! Tour also includes the Skagway Scenic Overlook, which offers a panoramic view of the entire town, harbor and cruise ships, historic downtown (part of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park) and the Gold Rush Cemetery to visit our infamous outlaw, Soapy Smith, hear tales of the early pioneers, and do an optional short hike to Lower Reid Falls.
