Klondike Highway & the Yukon Suspension Bridge

Uncover the History of the Gold Rush Follow the Klondike Trail to the Yukon Suspension Bridge to gain insight into a storied era of American history.

Journey along White Pass toward the Chilkoot Mountains, pausing for photographs of its picturesque scenery, including jagged peaks, glacial lakes and alpine forests. After passing by the summit, continue to the Yukon Suspension Bridge, a pedestrian walkway and interpretive site spanning 200 feet over the Tutshi River. Take in the views of the churning waters below as your guide shares stories of the Gold Rush and this remote corridor’s role in shaping trade and travel during the late 19th century.
