About This Adventure

Yukon Suspension Bridge and Summit Tour


3 Hours

This small-group tour provides a wonderful opportunity to experience the Yukon Suspension Bridge to view the stunning scenery of the White Pass. Meet your guide, board the comfortable vehicle and enjoy a short tour of Skagway’s historic district before climbing steeply towards the Chilkoot Mountains. The dramatic scenery of the White Pass summit soon surrounds you. This is a wonderland of impressive peaks, azure lakes and stunted forests. Along the way, your expert guide will choose a prime photo stop at their favorite location.

We next visit the Yukon Suspension Bridge, where you can venture out onto the bridge to get stunning views of the Tutshi River’s turbulent waters below. Learn about Klondike Gold Rush history and the natural history of the area. Walk along the boardwalk and immerse yourself in the miniature world of alpine wildflowers.

Return to your ship having had an experience you won’t forget.

This tour departs from Skagway only.
