Yukon Suspension Bridge and Summit Exploration
For those who want to experience and photograph the incredible beauty of the Yukon, journey beyond the White Pass Summit Area, even further into this unspoiled world on this Skagway tour.
Embark on a journey that promises to be a highlight of your Alaskan adventure. Your day begins with a guided tour through Skagway's Historic District aboard a comfortable airporter bus, accommodating no more than 32 passengers. As your guide shares tales of Skagway's dramatic past-once known as the "Toughest Town on Earth" during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897-99-you'll gain fascinating insights into this storied town's history. Travel along the stunning Klondike Highway, where breathtaking landscapes surround you, including glaciers, cascading waterfalls, and majestic mountain vistas. Stop to capture unforgettable views at the White Pass Summit, a 3,292-foot peak, before descending into the hauntingly beautiful Tormented Valley in British Columbia. This striking landscape, with its otherworldly terrain, inspired legendary author Jack London. Along the way, marvel at iconic natural wonders such as Pitchfork Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, each a testament to the region's untamed beauty. The adventure continues at the Yukon Suspension Bridge, where you'll walk high above the churning Class V rapids of the Tutshi River Canyon, 57 feet below. Take in the panoramic views and dive into the area's rich history, from the Klondike Gold Rush to its unique natural heritage. Wander the charming boardwalk, adorned with vibrant alpine wildflowers, and soak in the serenity of this remarkable location. Your tour includes well-timed photo stops, including the iconic "Welcome to Alaska" sign, ensuring you capture every moment of this remarkable journey.
