Yukon Suspension Bridge and Summit Tour
You will start this tour at the pier and drive up the Klondike Highway, one of the most scenic in North America that parallels much of the White Pass Railroad rail lines as well as the Trail of '98. On this section, you will see many waterfalls and glaciers (weather permitting).
Along the route are spectacular views of the railroad as well as historical overlooks. You'll see the Brackett Wagon Road, Pitchfork Falls, Moore Creek Bridge and more. The Gold Rush will come to life as your guide takes you back in time with tales and history of the era.
Upon cresting the summit, we pass into the "moonscape " of the "Tormented" Valley with it's crystal blue Summit Lake, stunted vegetation, the last remaining watering station for the railroad, Fantail Trail and Log Cabin. Watch for wildlife commonly spotted in the area, such as bear, moose, eagles, goats, and sheep.
The stop at the Yukon Suspension Bridges offers a fantastic view of the river rapids 57 feet below. A photo opportunity of this unique bridge, plus storyboards will bring the Gold Rush to life. There are many photo stops along the way so make sure you bring your camera.
