Duration: 7.5 hours

Journey into the Yukon aboard a deluxe 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 your travel along the  footsteps of the original gold seekers, you’ll stop at several scenic areas: Moore Bridge, Bove Island and the Welcome to the Yukon sign for photos.  Your drive/guide will also point out the historical 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. Enjoy a delightful barbeque lunch at Caribou Crossing Trading Post, complete with chicken, baked potato, cole slaw, fresh rolls, Grandma’s homemade donuts and coffee/tea.  While at the trading post you will not want to miss the dramatic wildlife exhibit in the museum and their newest addition – a Wooly Mammoth.  Experience the warmth and playfulness of the puppy camp before heading back on the motorcoach to downtown Carcross. Carcross is a village of historical interest.  Originally called Caribou Crossing for the large numbers of caribou that migrated between Bennett and Tagish Lakes and one of the original stopovers for hungry prospectors on their way to Dawson City.  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.  Even more stories unfold as you make your way back towards Skagway.  Once there, you can be dropped off to explore the bustling town on your own or return directly to your ship.
