On our Half-Day tour to the Yukon border, follow in the path of the Klondike Gold Rush stampeders of 1898 as you travel up the Klondike Highway, past waterfalls and steep mountains of coastal rainforest. See views of the WP&YR railroad, Brackett Wagon road, Pitchfork Falls and Moore Creek Bridge. As we cross the 3292 foot summit of the White Pass and the Canadian Border we enter the subarctic alpine tundra of the “Tormented” valley with its crystal blue Summit Lake.  At the Summit, we visit the Welcome to Alaska sign for a photo.

We’ll continue on the journey through spectacular scenery in Canada of dramatic lakes and the Northern Boreal forest wilderness. Stand at the shores of Lakes Tutshi and Tagish, encircled by mile-high mountains and pose at the Yukon Border sign for a great photo-op.  Panoramic wilderness vistas await you.

Bonus stop at Yukon Suspension Bridge that includes time for bridge crossing and viewing of educational displays. Snack bar is available for food purchase and Yukon gift shop. Modern restrooms (the only from Skagway to Carcross!) are included.

See the beauty of the seasons with late Spring snow-capped peaks, mid-Summer blooming Fireweed flowers or early Fall glorious autumn colors of yellow and orange. A photographer’s dream. Experience part of the true wilderness of northern Canada!

Beyond the Summit and into northern British Columbia gives a good chance to encounter wildlife-most commonly bears. (Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed).
