Yukon Exploration & White Pass Scenic Railway
PRICE: ADULT: 179.00 / CHILD: 99.00 USD
DURATION: 8 Hours Approx.
Explore the historic White Pass Trail of '98 from several different
perspectives. Board a motorcoach, designed for highway
travel, as you begin your expedition along the historic Trail of '98
to the White Pass summit and into the Yukon. Your
driver/guide will regale you with true stories of the stampeders who
traveled through the rugged pass in search of their golden
dreams. As you travel along the footsteps of the original gold
seekers, you'll make several photo stops: Moore Bridge, Bove
Island and the Welcome to the Yukon sign.
Your guide will point out the historic sites of Pitchfork Falls, the
White Pass Summit and Dead Horse Gulch. After you pass through
the 3,290 foot White Pass Summit, travel through Tormented Valley
and visit the village of Carcross near Lake Bennett.
A barbeque lunch awaits at Caribou Crossing Trading Post. While
at the trading post you will not want to miss the wildlife
exhibit in the museum and their newest showcase - a Wooly
Mammoth. Experience the warmth and playfulness of the puppy
camp before heading to downtown Carcross. Your driver will point
out the sights of interest on your way to visit the Carcross
Yukon Visitor Reception Centre where you have time to visit the
town on your own. Reboard the motorcoach and head back
to Fraser, where you will board the White Pass and Yukon Route
railroad for a scenic and historic rail journey back to Skagway that
you will not soon forget.

Skagway Extravaganza
PRICE: ADULT: 204.00 / CHILD: 204.00 USD
Experience many of Skagway's highlights during one tour. First,
climb aboard the White Pass and Yukon Railway and ascend
into the scenic mountains, hearing stories of the miners who made
this sojourn on foot more than a century ago. Arriving in
Fraser, British Columbia board a motor coach to travel south
through the pass where your driver/guide will point out sites
including Tormented Valley and Pitchfork Falls. At the foot of the
pass is Liarsville Gold Rush Trail Camp, where a cast of
sourdoughs and madams will entertain you with a melodrama,
recite a poem by the "Bard of the North" and teach you the art
of finding gold! You are guaranteed to hit pay dirt and you get to
keep the gold you find.
Nothing like panning for gold to work up an appetite! At the
Liarsville Cookhouse the grill is fired up for a meal of wild
Alaskan salmon, baked chicken, rice pilaf, assorted salads, baked
beans, cornbread, lemonade, apple cider and dessert. After
your meal, explore the Trail camp or take your photo with the camp
mascot, a lovable freight husky.
Your tour culminates at the world famous Red Onion Saloon where
you will be greeted by sumptuously dressed madams. Upstairs in
the Bombay room you will toast to the ladies of 1898 with your
choice of red or white wine, Alaskan Amber Ale, or draft root beer.
A few more steps takes you to what was the most luxurious brothel
of its day, now faithfully restored to its present glory. On your
exclusive tour through the brothel, you will see the prized silver
dress and other relics and artifacts left behind by the soiled doves.
Embrace the spirit of '98 and have the experience of a lifetime!
