This Undiscovered Alaska and the Yukon Territory tour features majestic panoramas, untamed wilderness, the opportunity to see wildlife in their natural habitat, and so much more! Beginning and ending in Anchorage, Alaska s largest city, take a cruise out of Whittier on Prince William Sound to view breathtaking glaciers while watching for eagles, whales, porpoises, seals, mountain goats, and more. Between Anchorage and Tok, enjoy beautiful views of Matanuska Glacier and Kluane National Park s rugged mountains on the way to Whitehorse. Enjoy the stunning scenery as you motor over the Top of the World Highway en route to Fairbanks. More magnificent scenery awaits you on your journey aboard the Alaska Railroad between Fairbanks and Denali National Park and Preserve as you view the awe-inspiring wilderness via the wide windows and the domed-roof car. Denali National Park Preserve, with its six million acres, is the third largest park in the United States and is home to North America s highest peak, Denali (formerly Mount McKinley) at an impressive 20,310 ft. Your two nights in Denali give you the opportunity to explore on your own or go on optional outings, such as taking a helicopter ride over the park for spectacular aerial views, go on a sled-dog kennel tour to learn about the important cultural role sled dogs have in Alaska, or take a wilderness tour to seek out grizzly bears, moose, and more. In addition to witnessing breathtaking scenery, this Alaska and Yukon Territory tour offers you a chance to learn about the Klondike Gold Rush. Follow the Trail of 98 over the same mountains that determined gold seekers traveled in brutal winter conditions in hopes of striking it rich. Visit Skagway and stroll the wooden sidewalks where thousands of hopeful miners came in 1898. In Dawson City, see where the first gold strike was made and enjoy a show with ragtime music, can-can girls, and an old-fashioned casino just as the prospectors did over a century ago. All of this and more await you on this value-minded adventure through Alaska and the Yukon Territory!
