Overview

On this excursion in Skagway, hear tales about Skagway’s time as a gold rush boom town as your guide points out some of its historic buildings.

Driving through Skagway’s residential district you’ll learn all kinds of interesting facts about this wonderful town. Once out of town, your tour leads over a mountain road to what was once the gold rush city of Dyea.

Along the way you’ll stop at the Naku Bay overlook and peer down the inside passage – North America’s longest and deepest fjord. Next, head to the trailhead of the Chilkoot Trail.

Next, your tour heads out to the abandoned gold rush town of Dyea. The spruce and hemlock trees grow along what were once the streets of a bustling town full of stampeders seeking fortune

Before returning to Skagway, you’ll get some more great photo opportunities at the Taiya River overlook and a fantastic look at Skagway at the Skagway overlook. This tour is a great way to discover and learn about Skagway – A small town with a lot to see.
