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.
