Chilkoot TrailBegin hiking at the trailhead of the Chilkoot Trail, the centerpiece of the gold rush history in Skagway. This world-famous trail was the main route to the riches of the Klondike during the gold rush. Now a tranquil place of incredible beauty, the trail winds through a lush rainforest alive with birds, animals and wildflowers. Your guide will weave an entertaining mix of natural history and Klondike folklore about the gold-hungry stampeders who forged this route over 100 years ago as you follow in their footsteps.
-
Your hike will end at the Taiya River put-in site for your float experience. A safety briefing will be provided and rubber boots, life jackets, and panchos (if raining) will be handed out to all guests. Your 18-foot raft awaits for the calm scenic float back to Dyea. During this approximately 45-minute float, you will see the forest give way to fields of beach greens and wild fireweed, and the granite walls of the fjords rise steeply to snow-capped peaks and hanging glaciers. Your guide will enthrall you with natural history, geology, and Gold Rush history along the way. At the end of the float, enjoy a riverside snack of homemade cookies and a hot beverage with countless picture-perfect moments before loading up in the van and heading to the White Pass Summit.
- Enter into the serenity and beauty of the 17 million-acre Tongass National Forest. Within the Tongass, you will find a plethora of flora and fauna -- with none of the crowds! (pass by)
- Stop by the overlook for the glorious hanging Denver Glacier on your way up to the beautiful Summit Lake. Its surrounded by glorious old growth forest with the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad running in the foreground. (pass by)
