First Passage to the West

The incredible original route, the First Passage to the West is a historic 2 day experience which you'll never forget. 

  • Enjoy the awe-inspiring views as you travel through green valleys & past towering mountain ranges & crystal clear lakes 
  • Keep an eye out for wildlife, you might see moose, elk or bears 
  • Be amazed by the engineering feat of the Spiral Tunnels, an ingenious way of slowing the descent - unique to this route.
