Creator's Key Takeaways

This is another excursion that got interrupted last year that we were excited about.

This is the Yukon region's number one most photographed lake in the entire Yukon.

It was nice to finish what we started a year ago and, you know, have a little bit less pressure to get it all done in a single day.

We're here for several hours, so I'm hoping maybe, just maybe, we get lucky and it clears up later this morning.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Drive the S Klondike Highway from Skagway to see breathtaking views faster and cheaper than the train.
Stop at Emerald Lake for the most photographed lake in the Yukon.
Visit Tootsie Dog Sled Camp for a fun dog sledding experience on wheels.

YouTube Video Description

Everybody says “take the train”… but what if there’s a better way to see Alaska’s most breathtaking views (and it’s faster, cheaper, and way more fun)? In this video, we drive the S Klondike Highway from Skagway, showing exactly what you’ll see as the road climbs through the White Pass and into the Yukon of Canada. From emerald lakes and mountain passes to historic and even dogsledding at Tutsi Dog Camp, these are the stops most cruisers miss and the scenic drive that completely changed how we explore Alaska. If you’re planning a Skagway port day or debating whether to take the train or drive instead, this video gives you a real, start-to-finish look at one of the most incredible scenic routes on an Alaska cruise. ----- ⚓ Our Trusted Travel Partners: 🤝 🛳️ Ready to Book Your Next Cruise?
