Don’t settle for an incomplete tour of the Yukon Territory—maximize your time in Skagway with this extended drive through the Yukon. This small-group tour makes it possible to learn about local history and see some of the Yukon’s top sights in less than a day. Drive through the summit of White Pass across British Columbia to Carcross—the crossroads of the Klondike—while stopping for fun photo opportunities along the way.
The Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park is home to downtown Skagway, the historic Chilkoot Trail, and more! It is a unique national park that spans two states — Washington (where many gold rushers sailed from) and Alaska (the start of the Gold Rush routes).

In the late 1890s, thousands of prospectors sailed through Bove Island’s waterways here on their way to the Klondike in makeshift boats that they built on the shores of Bennett Lake.
