Midnight Sun Climb & Zipline Tour at Takhini Hot Springs
Every Friday evening from May through September.
The tour begins approximately one hour before sunset. Participants are geared up, briefed
on safety procedures and then climb the wall to the 14' x 14' deck on top of the climbing tower.
From this vantage point there is a 50km view of the Whitehorse and Takhini Valleys. Hot drinks,
snacks, interpretive and tall tales are provided while the setting sun shines yellow, orange
and crimson in the Western sky. Because of the Earth's tilt, sunsets in the north last
30 minutes to an hour. At mid-summer the twilight lasts until sunrise. Once the show is over
we exit the tower via the 1,000-foot-long zipline.
Transportation is available through Tom's
Tours (633-4786). The Hot Springs are available for a dip before or after the tour.
Start Time varies with sunset; please call the office for details.
