Meet your hiking and rafting guide at the pier and hop into a small-group van for a drive through historic Skagway to the gold rush town of Dyea. From there, hike the first two miles of the world-famous Chilkoot Trail, once the main route to the Klondike gold fields and now a peaceful rainforest full of birds, wildlife and wildflowers.
Follow in the footsteps of the stampeders as you climb up and over 350-foot Saintly Hill, while your guide shares natural history and Klondike folklore along the way.
At the Taiya River, board an 18-foot raft for a calm float (no whitewater) back toward Dyea, past fields of wild iris and granite fjord walls rising to snowcapped peaks and hanging glaciers. Wrap up with homemade cookies and hot drinks by the river before the van takes you back to Skagway.
