Start your adventure by traveling up the Klondike Highway while you take in wildlife, waterfalls, glacier-covered mountains & views of the White Pass Railroad. Once into Canada (Province of British Columbia aka B.C.) you'll pass through the subarctic alpine tundra of the Tormented Valley, with views of Summit Lake. You'll continue through B.C. where you'll stop at Canada Customs (passports and vaccines cards are required) at Fraser B.C, and the Yukon Territory. Photo opportunities will be available at the British Columbia and Yukon signs.

Our featured stop is the Tutshi Dog Sledding Camp. Here, you'll get a glimpse into the history of sled dog use throughout Canada and Alaska.

There is a gift shop for snacks and souvenirs to take home as a way to remember this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
