About
A relaxed pace, this tour combines all the best scenery with limited time on the bus. Take the Scenic Klondike Highway up our beautiful Summit pass of 3292'. On the way to the top you will see beautiful rainforests, glacially carved valleys, and waterfalls! Once we reach the top will we then enter into what is known as the Tormented Valley! A weather worn, sub arctic, beauty of a valley with dwarfed trees and stunning rock formations.
We will take a couple of stops along this stunning area. Then we will be crossing Canadian Customs to officially enter the country and continue this incredible drive through Boreal Forest. After the Scenic drive we will arrive at the Suspension Bridge. While there we will have time to enjoy the outdoor walking museum. You will also feel the excitement of the rushing water below the suspension bridge, have some time to shop, and have some Canadian snacks.
