The 2-hour White Pass Summit Tour

This is the most popular tour in Skagway because it offers breathtaking views and parallels the tracks of the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad. On this tour we will travel over the rugged coastal mountain range and see glacier fed waterfalls surrounded by the temperate rainforest. Once over the pass we enter British Columbia and travel through a 300-year-old krummholz forest of “Canadian Bonsai” trees in Tormented Valley. This area is rich in history and full of stunning views of glacier fed lakes. There is always an opportunity to see wildlife on the pass such as Mountain Goat, Black Bear, Marmot and Ptarmigan. Photo stops include Pitchfork Falls, Tormented Valley, Bridal Veil Falls and the Welcome to Alaska Sign. At Bridal Veil Falls you will have the opportunity to drink ice cold glacier water from your free souvenir cup! This water is collected on site and filtered for your safety.

This excursion enters Canada so a valid passport is required!
