Alaska Snowbird Tours
3 Activities
Tormented Valley and Suspension Bridge Tour
At a relaxed pace, this tour combines all the best scenery with limited time on the bus. We will pick up at the central meeting point then take the Scenic Klondike Highway up our beautiful Summit pass of 3292'. On the way to the top, you will see beautiful rainforests, glacially carved valleys, and waterfalls! Once we reach the top will we then enter into what is known as the Tormented Valley! A weather-worn, sub-arctic, beauty of a valley with dwarfed trees and stunning rock formations. We will take a couple of stops along this stunning area. Then we will be crossing Canadian Customs to officially enter the country and continue this incredible drive through Boreal Forest. After the Scenic drive, we will arrive at the Suspension Bridge. While there we will have time to enjoy the outdoor walking museum, the excitement of the rushing water below the suspension bridge, have some time to shop, and have some Canadian snacks. Then we will drive on the same beautiful route to return to Skagway and at the end of the tour you will be dropped off in town.
Available Timing
Step into the Yukon and Sled Dog Tour
Once everyone has been picked up at the central meeting point, we will tour through the historic district in Skagway. Then we will make our way out of town up the summit pass. At the top of the summit, we will reach British Columbia, Canada. Then we will tour through a weather-worn dwarfed forest called the Tormented Valley. Here we will take in the scenery and enjoy this strange, but beautiful landscape. After the Tormented Valley, we will come to Boreal Forest and the lakes region of the tour. Through these two regions, we can stop, take pictures, and take in the changing scenery as we drive deeper into Canada. Next, we will arrive at the dog Mushing Camp where Michelle Phillips and her professional racing crew will tell us all about the ins and outs of mushing on the trail, training in the off-season, and what life is like for a professional musher. Here we can also take a summer dog mushing training ride, which is educational, fun, and actually how these canine athletes train. From here we will continue to the border of British Columbia and the Yukon and touch into a Canadian Territory that many never see. After this point, we will travel back on the same beautiful highway and return to Skagway where you can be dropped off in town.

Yukon Tour (Early and late season only)
This incredible scenic drive is always an option even when many things are closed down or not yet open for the season. It is my pleasure to offer a beautiful tour at the extremes of the season. The early spring will likely have snow in sections of this drive and the late season will have gorgeous fall colors!
