Continuing to parallel the historic White Pass Trail and White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad train ride, you will climb 3, 292 feet to the White Pass Summit Area - this is the daunting Tormented Valley of British Columbia, Canada.
Note: The Tormented Valley contains large areas having an almost "lunar" appearance, making this one of the most unique eco-systems in North America. Here we will explore a forest-tundra ecotone consisting of the blending of a stunted forest of three hundred year old trees, known as "krummholz", and alpine tundra.
