Combine a tour of historic Skagway with a tour of the scenic White Pass Summit Area following the Klondike Highway. Highlights of this bus tour include the Gold Rush Cemetary, Lower Reid Falls and the "Welcome to Alaska" sign.
- Conducted in English
Your first stop is the Skagway City Overlook where you can enjoy breathtaking views. Next stop is the Klondike Gold Rush Cemetery. Hear the tale of Frank Reid and "Soapy" Smith and the gunfight which changed the future of Skagway. For the adventurous, you can hike up to Lower Reid Falls!
Leaving Skagway for the White Pass Summit Area, you'll journey on a bus along the Klondike Highway which parallels the White Pass Railroad train ride. In between visiting historic points of interest, azure glaciers, thundering waterfalls and majestic mountain vistas, you can relive the Klondike Gold Rush. A highlight of this part of the tour is drinking icy-cold glacier water from Bridal Veil Falls.
Continue traveling parallel to the historic White Pass Trail and White Pass Railroad train ride, climb 3,292 feet to the Summit before descending into the upper portion of the daunting Tormented Valley. The Tormented Valley contains large areas with an almost lunar appearance, making this one of the most unique eco-systems in North America. Explore a forest-tundra ecotone with a stunted forest of 300-year old trees and alpine tundra.
The final leg will be through the Tormented Valley with optional stops at the Upper and Lower Tormented Valley Overlooks, Summit Lake and Fraser Lake. As you survey the landscape of the White Pass Summit Area, admire unforgiving wilderness which inspired such classic authors as Jack London and Robert Service. Returning to Skagway, stop at the "Welcome to Alaska" sign, the most popular photo stop on this bus tour.
