Here, you’ll board the world-famous narrow gauge White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad, travelling through spectacular scenery over the White Pass Summit and into Skagway, Alaska. Upon arrival in Skagway, explore the historic downtown, the gateway for many prospectors on their way to the gold fields. Travel back to Whitehorse by coach with guided commentary along the way.
Day 5 Whitehorse to Dawson City
This morning, fly to the Gold Rush townof Dawson City that still retains its frontier legacy. This afternoon visit Goldbottom Mine to see how today’s gold prospecting techniques have changed since its origins in the area in the 1800s.
Day 6 Tombstone Territorial Park
Today, head out of the city along the Dempster Highway as you enter Tombstone Territorial Park, boasting over 2100sq kilometres of superbly epic scenery. Keep your eyes peeled for bears and caribou and take advantage of the excellent hiking trails on a guided one hour flat-terrain hike along part of the Klondike River.
