Yukon by Bike

It's Thursday and that means the Disney Wonder docks and we get to send out one of our favorite day trips, Yukon by Bike. This tour is for the avid road cyclist. You pedal thirty-eight miles from Log Cabin, BC Canada to Carcross, YT through some of the most beautiful scenery in the region. 

The Yukon has long captured the mind of adventurers seeking their fortune in a land larger than California but home to only 30,000 people. The scenic Klondike Highway serves as your byway through the rugged wilderness. Experience the magnificent headwater lakes of the Yukon River, an opportunity to spot wildlife, view relics of old mining boom towns, a Northern First Nations community and the remote solitude that has attracted visitors since the days of the Klondike Gold Rush.
Your tour begins in the gateway to the Klondike town of Skagway. Your guide who is versed in the history and ecology of the region drives you by van from the coast over the summit of the White Pass, retracing the route of the gold stampeders of 1898. You cross into Canada traveling on the Yukon Plateau along a spectacular alpine valley dotted with lakes and carved by a massive glacier. You arrive at Log Cabin, a stop on the White Pass and Yukon Route Railway and the start of your ride.
After a bike orientation and safety briefing you mount your road bike and begin your thirty eight mile ride north on the paved Klondike Road.  If you prefer to bike only a portion of the route or are feeling tired, the van is there to transport you at any time. Frequent stops are made along the way for photos, sightseeing and lunch. Your ride ends in the town of Carcross on Nares Lake. Relax on the drive back to Skagway as you retrace your exhilarating bike journey through the Yukon Territory!
