White Pass Mountaineering Adventure
Overview
Explore the strenuous off-trail alpine terrain of wild Alaska with fantastic views on this full day adventure. This tour is only recommended for hikers and mountain climbers looking for a challenging adventure.
Our trip begins with a 40-minute van ride into the mountains and up the White Pass, which borders Alaska and the Yukon Territory in Canada. After we gear up, we’ll venture into the alpine of White Pass. Our route will cover about 6 miles and gain up to 3,000 feet in elevation. Typically, our objective is to climb to the summit of Feather Peak or Mount Cleveland, both of which stand at about 5,500 feet. We may use crampons, ice axes, ropes and other technical equipment to access the summit. Safety is always our top priority; the exact route will depend on conditions, group ability, and your guide's discretion. We allow for a full 8 hours for this adventure, however, timing in the mountains can be variable. We’ll be sure to get you back to your cruise ship on time.
