Detailed Itinerary
The journey, in full
You will be required to have a passport as this tour enters Canada. Once everyone has been picked up, 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 the 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. After this point, we will travel back on the same beautiful highway and return to Skagway, where you can be dropped off in town.
