This one-of-a-kind excursion allows you to explore the historic White Pass Trail of ’98 from several different perspectives. Enjoy the luxury of 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, coleslaw, 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 showcase…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 the town was 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. Re-board the motorcoach and head back to Fraser, where you will board the White Pass & Yukon Route railroad for a scenic and historic rail journey back to Skagway that you will not soon forget.
