| (SDR10) Yukon Goldrush Trail - 7 Days | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Day 1: Whitehorse - SkagwayPick up your rental car at the Airport. On your way to Skagway you pass through the historic community of Carcross and past the ruins of the Venus Mine on Windy Arm of Tagish Lake. Near the summit of the Klondike Highway Pass you'll encounter a scene that resembles a moonscape more than any earthly vista. Ancient, twisted trees cling to rocks polished smooth by prehistoric glaciers, or crumbled by years of erosion. Myriad waterfalls, several glaciers and glimpses of the White Pass Railroad and White Pass Trail are among the highlights of the drive from the summit to seaside Skagway.
Day 2: Skagway A place exists in Alaska where the past lives on, where the cries of "gold in the Yukon" still echo from steep canyon walls, where the sounds of barroom pianos and boomtown crowds ring out in the night. Explore the romance and excitement of yesteryear still lingering around every street corner. Don't miss a ride on the White Pass & Yukon Railroad and join a historic walking tour of Skagway (free!) hosted by the local guides..
Day 3: Skagway - Haines - Beaver Creek This morning board the ferry for a scenic trip across Lynn Canal. From Haines continue on to Kluane National Park, a natural treasure and World Heritage Site. Encompassing breathtaking views of lush valleys, mountain ranges and the world’s largest non-polar icefields, the park offers many hiking and walking trails. Stop at Mount Wallace, better known as Sheep Mountain where you have the chance to spot the rare white dall sheep. Continue on the Alaska Highway, cross the Alaska border in Beaver Creek
Day 4: Beaver Creek - Dawson City Continue driving north along the Alaska Pipeline towards Tok. From here an adventure begins as you travel on the gravel road towards the town of "Chicken". Enjoy scenic views from the "Top of the World" Highway before crossing the mighty Yukon River and reaching Dawson City. Enjoy the long daylight hours and stroll through the historic townsite or along the banks of the Yukon River.
Day 5: Dawson City There is much to do and explore in the Dawson City area. Visit the gold fields, pan for gold and take a guided tour of the Gold Dredge #4. Drive up to the Dome and enjoy amazing vistas of the Dawson area. In the evening join the "Diamond Tooth Gertie's" gambling hall and show, recreating a atmosphere of a goldrush saloon at the turn of the century.
Day 6: Dawson City - Whitehorse Say goodbye to Dawson City. As you drive along the Klondike Highway you pass through the small communities of Stewart Crossing, Pelly, and Carmacks. Stop at the Five Finger Rapids and walk down to the Yukon River. Here you can linger just a little longer before finishing your drive to Whitehorse.
Day 7: Whitehorse Last time to enjoy a walk along Miles Canyon or visit the Souvenir Shops in the downtown area. Drop off the rental car at the airport. Tour extension on request.
