Klondike Scenic Highlights

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of this dramatic land, rich with the history of the Klondike Gold Rush.
 
Travel aboard the White Pass & Yukon Route railroad, renowned as the “Scenic Railway of the World.” Against all odds this iron trail was forged through some of North America’s most rugged terrain. Relax in old fashioned parlor cars and marvel at the spectacular waterfalls, cliff-hanging turns, tunnels and historic sites you pass on your journey to the summit of the White Pass and beyond to Fraser, British Columbia.
 
Here, board a comfortable motorcoach and travel the scenic Klondike Highway to the Yukon Suspension Bridge. An outdoor museum and interpretive displays inform you about the plants, animals and geological forces that comprise this unique environment. Experience the dramatic walk across the bridge suspended over the churning rapids of the Tutshi River.   
 
As you continue your journey down the highway as your driver shares stories of gold rush stampeders. At Jewell Gardens, site of pioneer Henry Clark’s family farm, enjoy lunch on an open sun porch. Savor a seasonal soup, salad, quiche or hearty sandwich along with a fresh baked dessert. The ingredients for your meal come from the edible landscape around you. Stroll the immaculately groomed herb, flower and vegetable gardens and don’t miss the elaborate miniature railroad display depicting Skagway as it looked in 1898.
