When your cruise ship docks in Skagway, begin your adventure by climbing the Klondike Highway north to the US/Canadian border, which parallels the 1898 Gold Rush Trail. Cross into Canada and traverse through the spectacular Northern Boreal Forest, which includes Bove Island, Tutshi Lake and Tagish Lake. After you break for a photo at the Yukon border, you'll travel on to Lake Bennett, see the "World's Smallest Desert" and marvel at gorgeous Emerald Lake.
Stop at the Caribou Crossing Trading Post and Museum where you can relax and enjoy a tasty, satisfying lunch of baked chicken with BBQ sauce, baked potato, coleslaw, dinner rolls, donuts and coffee -- Yukon style! After lunch, visit one of the most spectacular wildlife museums in the North Country. As you stroll through the 9,000-square foot (2743-square meter) museum, you will find the quality of the wildlife exhibits to be truly remarkable. The museum's exhibits range from Ice Age specimens to animals more recently introduced into the Yukon. Also, included are exotic animals from both the arctic and sub-arctic regions of Alaska and the Yukon, as well as from around the world.
Also at Caribou Crossing are the lovable Huskies preparing for the Yukon Quest dog sled race. Pet the dogs and play with puppies, and hear the musher's adventures of dog sledding in the Yukon during the winter! As you journey back to Skagway, keep your eye out for possible wildlife sightings, such as bears, moose, caribou, Dall sheep and mountain goats.

This was absolutely our best excursion on this trip. Don't ride the train, ride the bus. It goes through the Yukon and into Canada. We had numerous stops for great photos, which you won't on the train. Our driver, Dan, was so knowledgeable that I feel like I have lived in Skagway all my life. We did the dog cart and even though there was not any snow, my dog loving husband loved it. My only complaint is that you can get this excursion cheaper after you dock.

Our Family really enjoyed this excursion. The guide was nice and informative. Loved hearing about the Gold Rush and life at that time. Saw several bears, mt. goats and eagles. Loved the fact that the guide would stop so we could get a good look and take pictures.
