Ice and Gold Adventure
Alaska & Yukon
From Glacier Bay's icy spectacles and migrating whales to Dawson City -
destination of many a Klondike gold seeker - Alaska and its Canadian
neighbor, the Yukon, are still largely untamed wilderness. Explore their
natural beauty, and meet the people who call this wild, challenging place
home.

Cruise to a glacier that
towers 250 feet above you, watching for chunks ready to crash into the
water. Ride the spectacular
White
Pass railroad, an engineering
marvel. Tour the historic and picturesque coastal towns of Skagway
and Haines. Hike and explore Kluane's mountain splendor, a jewel of Canada's
National Parks system.
Go beyond the natural wonders, too.
What is it like to race
a thousand miles through the northern winter, dependent on your team
of huskies for survival? What is life like for the last remaining
gold miners in the Klondike? And how does this
all seem to a First
Nations elder, whose ancestors lived here long before white men came
seeking gold? Spend time with these people, and get a unique
understanding of life in the far north.
