Yukon Mountain Hiking Adventure Tours

A round-trip tour from Skagway over the White Pass Summit to the base of Montana Mountain in the Yukon.  A guided wilderness hike retracing the nearly forgotten footsteps of the "Cheechakos", on the historic Sam McGee Trail. A gourmet trail lunch will be prepared for you at the top, and snacks will be available at the rest stops.

Traveling to and from the Yukon, you will see...the beautiful Skagway River Valley, White Pass Summit area, the Tormented Valley, the crystal clear watershed of the Yukon River, and the majestic lakes and mountains of northwestern British Columbia and southwestern Yukon Territory.  At the base of Montana Mountain you will meet your professional guides, have a short safety briefing, and get your gear ready for a once in a lifetime experience of the "Sam McGee Trail".  While hiking up the historic Sam McGee Trail, you will be amazed by the diversity of plant and wildlife that flourish in this land of breathtaking beauty. 

Your guides will help you make the most of this experience, by identifying a variety of plant life and explaining their use in wilderness survival and local customs, as you climb 2,150 feet through 3 ecosystems. As you journey, your guides will also give you insight into the colorful history of Montana Mountain and the Sam McGee Trail. When you reach the top a gourmet trail lunch, consisting of homemade stone-ground specialty breads, two kinds of meat, three kinds of cheese and more condiments than can be piled on, will be prepared while you...scan for wildlife (Although sightings are not guaranteed they are likely) to take that perfect picture, or just relax in the moment as you take in the awesome beauty.  After returning to the vehicle, you will head back to Skagway with photos to keep, memories to hold and tales to tell of this spectacular Yukon experience that you will cherish for a lifetime.
