SKG-303 Deluxe Yukon Dog Cart Tour
A Family Friendly
Tour
During our 6 hour Deluxe Yukon
Dog Sledding Tour, you will
awed by the scenic beauty of Southeast Alaska and the Yukon, inspired by
the Klondike Gold Rush history, and take the ride of a lifetime through
the wilderness, pulled by a team of sled dogs!
Venturing from Skagway's glacially carved
coastline we will drive over the coastal mountain range, through the White
Pass Summit area known as the Tormented Valley. As we journey through the
Yukon, you will be treated to the sight of majestic mountains and lakes,
the smell of Northern flora, the musical sounds of nature, the touch of
crisp, clean air, and possibly the taste of fresh wild berries (when in
season). Arriving at Emerald Lake, your tour guide will gladly take your picture overlooking this
beautiful lake (your tour guide is always happy to assist you in capturing
your memories on film). Next, you will stop in at Caribou Crossing Trading
Post and Museum where you can relax and enjoy a tasty, satisfying lunch,
Yukon style!
After lunch, you'll make your way to the dog kennels.
These dogs have been bred and raised to run, and you will be able to sense
their excitement as you approach! After an informative presentation
from their handlers, you'll board a specially designed dog cart for the
ride of a lifetime through the wilderness! And if that isn't enough,
you'll have ample time to play with the puppies back at the camp!
You won't be able to resist the wagging tails and sweet faces.
When
you have been exhausted by the pups, you will board your motor coach once
again. The next stop will be the Carcross Desert,
located in southwestern Yukon, which is the world's smallest desert. Here
there will be time to take a few pictures and get some sand in your shoes.
Our tour continues on to the shores of crystal clear Bennett Lake. There
you will have an opportunity to take pictures, learn more about the
historic Klondike Gold Rush, and skip a few stones across the lake. Photo
stops and possible wildlife sightings await as we journey back to Skagway.
Once back in Skagway, your tour guide will drop you off in the center of
the Skagway shopping district, or return you to your ship.

CANADIAN BORDER, ALL U.S. AND CANADIAN CITIZENS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE IN
THEIR POSSESSION A PASSPORT. PEOPLE OF ALL OTHER CITIZENSHIPS
