About

Follow in the footsteps of the 1898 Gold Rush stampeders up the White Pass and into the Yukon!

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 required) at Fraser B.C, and the Yukon Territory. Many photo stops along the way! The highlight being our stop at Wild Adventure Yukon (formerly Caribou Crossing), where guests get a chance to enjoy multiple experiences: petting farm, wildlife gallery & museum, puppies, and a YUKON sized BBQ.
