On the Chilkoot Trail Hike & Float, you’ll first head for the abandoned city of Dyea, a once significant port town for prospectors making their way to the famous Chilkoot Trail during the Klondike Gold Rush. And it’s these prospectors’ footsteps you’ll hike in, following the trail through the beautiful Tongass National Forest as your knowledgeable guide fills you in on the plants and animals that call this area home. Then, before you know it, it’s time for rafting! The float downstream on the Taiya River is a welcome break after your challenging but rewarding hike. Take the time to soak in the sights and sounds of the wilderness - you might even spot bald eagles along the way! 

Other Skagway hiking tours include fun activities like cruising along the scenic Lynn Canal spotting seals, porpoises, and whales, and paddling across a mirror-still glacial lake. Book your place today and enjoy some of the best vistas in all of North America!
