Embarking on this excursion from Whitehorse, we will venture into the captivating realm of Alaska, specifically the intriguing city of Skagway. Prepare for an extraordinary journey through the northwest of North America!
Description
Your adventure begins with a pickup from your Whitehorse hotel at the scheduled time. We will then proceed southward into one of the most stunning regions of the Yukon territory in Canada.
The first highlight of our trip will be Emerald Lake, a glacial body of water where we will stroll along its shores. Here, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a refreshing snack and beverage amidst this serene setting.
Next, our exploration of Yukon takes us to the Carcross Desert, renowned as the world's smallest desert. You might wonder how sand dunes can exist in such a northern part of Canada—during our visit, we'll uncover the reasons behind this phenomenon.
Having learned about the intriguing history of this desert, we will proceed to the town of Carcross and continue our journey south towards the border. As we leave Canada, the stunning vistas of the White Pass mountain pass will accompany us as we enter Alaska in the United States.
Upon our arrival in Alaska, we will visit Skagway, a charming coastal town celebrated for its wooden structures dating back to the gold rush era. While exploring, we will delve into its rich history, highlighting the adventurers who journeyed to this part of North America in pursuit of wealth.
Afterward, you will have a free hour to dine in Skagway before we make our way back to your hotel in Whitehorse, concluding our day-long adventure which spans approximately 9 hours. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
