Excursion White pass railway, klondike highway & yukon suspension bridge tour at Skagway

Experience the scenic natural splendour of Alaska via rail, highway, and bridge during this panoramic sightseeing journey.

Skagway, White Pass & Yukon Route Railway, Vintage Train Car-Ride, Waterfalls, Sheer Drop-Offs

Depart the pier for the short drive to the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway train depot. Upon arrival, step back in time whilst boarding a vintage train car for an incredibly scenic and narrated, approximately 1 hour 45 minute train ride. From your vintage train car, the sights of beautiful waterfalls and sheer drop-offs thrill you whilst your onboard narrator brings the history of Skagway and the summit to life. As you crest the White Pass Summit, a wonderland of giant mountains, azure lakes, and stunted forests, enter the eerie landscape of the Tormented Valley in Fraser, British Columbia. Upon arrival, de-board the White Pass train and board your coach for the drive to the Yukon Suspension Bridge.

Yukon Suspension Bridge Crossing, Rapids, Lunch

Upon arrival at the Yukon Suspension Bridge, savor a hearty bowl of bison chili and a freshly made bun, soaking in the beautiful architecture and the historical items on display in the restaurant, including 40-thousand-year-old mammoth items. Fall under the spell of the churning Tutshi river and the stunning mountain backdrops, as you experience this country with all your senses; breathe the pristine air, listen to the roar of the raging river, and thrill yourself with the sensation of crossing a custom-built footbridge suspended 65 feet (19.81 meters) above Class V rapids. Come away with a new appreciation of the area’s unique natural and human history through museum-quality interpretive exhibits. Immerse yourself with hands-on experiences as you build your own Inukshuk (traditional First Nations stone symbol), pose with historical figures for unique photos, or get up close and personal with a replica black bear and cubs.

Klondike Highway, Dead Horse Gulch, Railroad Route, Mountain Face, Klondike Goldfields

Leaving the bridge, re-board your coach and proceed for a ride along the Klondike Highway. From the highway, view Dead Horse Gulch and the railroad route etched into the mountain face where you travelled just an hour before. At the foot of the White Pass, your driver guide will share stories of the Klondike Goldfields before returning to downtown Skagway. Your tour concludes back at the pier.
