About
This incredible scenic drive is always an option even when many things are closed down or not yet open for the season. It is my pleasure to offer a beautiful tour at the extremes of the season. The early spring will likely have snow in sections of this drive and the late season will have gorgeous fall colors!
Once we have picked everyone up we will tour through the historic district in Skagway. Then we will make our way out of town up the summit pass. At the top of the summit we will reach British Columbia, Canada. Then we will tour through a weather worn dwarfed forest called the Tormented Valley. Here we will take in the scenery and enjoy this strange, but beautiful landscape.
After the Tormented Valley we will come to Boreal Forest and the lakes region of the tour. Through these two regions we can stop, take pictures, and take in the changing scenery as we drive deeper into Canada.
From here we will continue to the border of British Columbia and the Yukon and touch into a Canadian Territory that many never see. After this point we will travel back on the same beautiful highway and return to Skagway where you can be dropped off in town or back at your ship.
