After lunch and time with the pups, board the motorcoach for a scenic drive to Tok.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
A full day of driving requires two things, top-notch scenery, and a luxury ride – John Hall’s standard includes both. Settle in while the route runs parallel to the majestic Alaska Range, one of the highest in the world. The last stop before joining the Top of the World Highway and crossing the Canadian border is the busy metropolis of Chicken, Alaska (population 12). Arrive in Dawson City, Yukon, and enjoy two nights in this historic town.

At Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling Hall, take in the Cancan show, and try the famous Sourtoe Cocktail challenge.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Witness Moose Creek, Pelly Crossing, and Five Finger Rapids while traveling the Klondike Highway on the way to Whitehorse. With the discovery of gold, by 1897 stampeders had arrived by steamship and set up camp. During their hunt for gold, a rich copper belt was discovered in the surrounding hills. Spend the evening strolling the streets of Whitehorse, located on the banks of the Yukon River.
