Summit Views, Yukon Sled Dogs, and Musher Experience

Embark on this thrilling journey through the rugged landscapes of Skagway, Alaska, tracing the historic route of the 1898 Gold Rush stampeders as you venture up the White Pass and into the breathtaking Yukon.

As you ascend the Klondike Highway, marvel at the pristine wildlife, majestic waterfalls, and glacier-capped mountains, along with the engineering marvel of the White Pass Railroad. Crossing into Canada's British Columbia and venturing through the Tormented Valley, you'll be greeted by the subarctic beauty of the alpine tundra and the tranquil waters of Summit Lake. Brief stops at the British Columbia and Yukon Territory signs offer perfect photo opportunities to capture the essence of your journey.

The highlight of your excursion is a visit to the Tutshi Sled Dog Camp, where the spirit of the North comes alive. Delve into the fascinating world of sled dogs, vital to the history of transportation in Canada and Alaska. Experience the thrill of a 15 to 20-minute sled ride through the Canadian tundra, pulled by a team of powerful sled dogs aboard a 6-passenger UTV, guided by an experienced musher or trainer. This interactive experience not only showcases the dogs' training and exercise routines but also delves into the significance of mushing, including the storied Yukon Quest & Iditarod races.

During your 45-minute stay at the Tutshi Sled Dog Camp, there's ample time to engage with the dogs, including playing with adorable puppies, and to learn more about the enduring legacy of sled dogs in the North. Don't forget to visit the gift shop, where you can pick up snacks and souvenirs to commemorate your once-in-a-lifetime sled dog adventure.

This tour, encompassing two hours of scenic driving and additional time for memorable photo stops, offers a deep dive into the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Yukon. Ideal for adventurers of all ages, it promises an unforgettable experience that combines the thrill of mushing with the awe-inspiring landscapes of Skagway, Alaska, and beyond.
