The Highlights of Skagway
|
We will pick you in town at our central meeting point, then we will travel through the downtown historic district of Skagway to see some of the 33 original buildings of the Gold Rush time 1898-1899. After this we will go to the mountain summit rising 3292'. During this drive you will see mountain vistas, waterfalls, and be traveling in the footsteps of the Gold Rush! Hear stories from your guide of this grueling trek as well as natural history specific to this area.
After reaching the top, seeing the border of USA and Canada, and taking memory making photos at the 'Welcome to Alaska' sign we will continue back down the Klondike Highway and make our way the the Gold Rush Cemetery. Here we will have the chance to hike to a beautiful waterfall (if you choose) and hear what unique aspects our cemetery holds. We also have some heroes and villains buried here, if there's time we can hear stories of the perils of Skagway.
Then at the end of the tour we will continue back into town and be dropped off in the heart of everything.
*please note that stops may change depending on weather or traffic.

Marissa has such amazing energy. Grateful my husband and I got to see so much with her tour. She loves what she does and has great knowledge of the area! It was such an amazing experience, very grateful we went on this tour while in Skagway! I would highly recommend a tour with Snowbird.
