After meeting your Skagway Sightseeing Shore Excursion staff and leaving Skagway on the Klondike Highway, you will parallel the historic White Pass Trail much of the way to the 3,292 foot summit. Along the way as traffic allows, your Skagway Sightseeing Excursion guide will make photo stops at some of the scenic lookouts such as Brackett Wagon Road, Pitchfork Falls, Moore Creek Bridge, views of the WP&YR railroad and Welcome to Alaska sign. Keep your eyes open for potential wildlife.
Once at the summit, you will enter the daunting Tormented Valley in British Columbia, Canada. As you travel farther north, toward the Yukon border, spectacular scenery of dramatic lakes and the Northern Boreal forest wilderness with surround you. Photo stops will be made at Lakes Tutshi and Tagish, and at the Yukon Border sign. We also make a short stop at the Yukon Suspension Bridge attraction for a view of the bridge, snack bar and restroom opportunity. (There is not time for a crossing of the Bridge and that is not included).
Although wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, the Yukon (further away from civilization)offers a better opportunity to encounter bears, moose, sheep, goats and more on this Yukon Discovery Excursion from Skagway Alaska!
If time allows, optional photo stops are possible. This will depend on weather, traffic and the speed of your group. You will return to Skagway down the same valley highway, seeing more incredible scenic views that you missed on your way up.
