Duration:
03:00 hours
Description
Go beyond a typical Skagway tour with a small-group adventure across mountain passes, historic trails and coastal landscapes, guided by local experts passionate about Alaska.
Embark on a scenic and historic 3-hour round-trip adventure from Skagway. Travel high into the mountains along the legendary Klondike Highway, cross the dramatic White Pass, and stand at the iconic Welcome to Alaska Sign at the Canada/Alaska border.
Journey back to 1898 as your local guide brings the Klondike Gold Rush to life. Follow the same rugged route taken by determined stampeders who climbed the White Pass Trail in search of fortune in the Yukon.
Explore historic Skagway, once a booming gateway town filled with prospectors, saloons, and larger-than-life characters. Today, its preserved wooden storefronts and mountain backdrop make it one of Alaska’s most photogenic ports.
After soaring into the alpine landscape, continue along scenic Dyea Road toward the former gold rush townsite of Dyea. Here, breathtaking coastal views meet quiet forested valleys rich with history.
Wildlife sightings are always possible — keep watch for bald eagles, mountain goats, bears, or seals depending on the season.
