    Tour Overview

    Travel aboard the White Pass & Yukon Route railroad, renowned as the "Scenic Railway of the World." Against all odds this iron trail was forged through some of North America's most rugged terrain. Relax in vintage railcars and marvel at the spectacular waterfalls, cliff-hanging turns, tunnels and historic sites you pass on your journey to the summit of the White Pass and beyond to Fraser, British Columbia.

    Your trip continues by motorcoach as you travel just a few miles north en route to the Yukon Suspension Bridge. Some of the most magnificent scenery on earth greets you as you step outside, breathe the pristine air, and feel the thrilling sensation of a swaying walkway 57 feet above the churning rapids of the Tutshi River (pronounced TOO-shy). Observe Mother Nature in all her glory from the main platform, then walk through the museum-quality displays that detail the areas unique human and natural history.

    Reboard your motorcoach for a scenic drive along the historic Klondike Highway. Discover the area's amazing landscape from a different perspective as you return to Skagway. Along the way, your guide thrills you with stories of stampeders as you trace their footsteps along Brackett's Wagon Road, Pitchfork Falls, Dead Horse Gulch and the infamous Tormented Valley. You'll stop for photo opportunities along the way.

    Continue your nature-filled tour to Jewell Gardens, site of pioneer Henry Clark's family farm. The Clark farm grew produce for the thousands of miners on their way to Dawson City and the Klondike Gold Rush. Stroll the gardens and look for hand-blown glass, created on the premises, artfully placed among nature's creations and the playful, G-Scale model railroad, built within a model town that looks a lot like Skagway did 100 years ago.

    Considered the area's premier organic flower and vegetable garden enjoy a gourmet lunch overlooking the spectacular blooms. You'll savor a seasonal soup, organic garden greens and homemade quiche along with a freshly baked dessert. Many ingredients for your meal come from the edible landscape around you. Ample time is provided for you to browse the quaint gift shop before returning to your ship
