When we say local, we mean it – this tour will take you through Carcross Tagish Traditional Territory, home to Nikki’s great-great-grandfather, the infamous Skookum Jim.
Skookum Jim was part of the original gold prospectors whose discovery of gold on Bonanza Creek set off the Klondike Gold Rush. In this tour, we follow the first part of the historic Gold Rush River route from Bennett to Whitehorse, in the comfort of our Yukon Roots shuttle. Keep an eye out for grizzly and black bears as you travel to Emerald Lake and explore Carcross Desert, the world’s smallest desert. In Carcross, enjoy artwork, totem poles, and cultural riches, along with great food, coffee, ice cream, and local gift shops. There’s something for every adventurer on this Carcross-Tagish Tour.
