Welcome to the next chapter of your Alaskan odyssey—Skagway! Immerse yourself in the authentic essence of the state as you arrive at the northernmost city along Alaska's Inside Passage. A haven for adventurers, Skagway, once a bustling gold rush boomtown, captivates visitors with its awe-inspiring views, historical allure, and abundant wildlife. Brace yourself to be enchanted by the irresistible charm of "The Scenic Railway of the World."

In the late 19th century, gold seekers sailed in, embarking on a journey along The Chilkoot Trail in pursuit of gold, ultimately reaching Dawson City, the heart of the Klondike Gold Rush. Today, Skagway proudly stands as the gateway to The Yukon, The Chilkoot Trail, and Yakutania Point, retaining its historical significance. A visit to this enchanting port city is more than a glimpse into the past; it's a comprehensive exploration of all the wonders Alaska has to offer.

Skagway, steeped in history, beckons travelers to engage in a diverse array of Skagway Alaska excursions, offering a perfect introduction to the essence of Alaskan culture. What better way to commence your Alaska cruise excursions than by feasting your eyes on the picturesque cityscape during a horseback ride through the untamed wilderness?

Allow Alaska Shore Tours to be your guide through the historical nature trails of the gold rush miners. Knowledgeable guides will accompany you, recounting tales of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park as you glide along the paths where Alaskan pioneers once stood. Become acquainted with the city's legends and tales of the once-thriving gold rush town of Dyea, now abandoned.

An Alaskan shore excursion on horseback is an ideal way to discover breathtaking landscapes. Get up close to the city's most notable backdrops, including the tranquil rainforest, Dyea fields, and the Lynn Canal, the nation's longest and deepest fjord. Keep your eyes peeled for eagles soaring overhead and the rich surrounding wildlife.

For those seeking an adrenaline rush, combine sightseeing with a scenic train ride on the White Pass Train, followed by a downhill bike ride along the Klondike Highway. Hop on the train and nestle yourself inside the vintage cars of White Pass and Yukon Route, the historic narrow-gauge railway established in 1888 during the peak days of the Klondike Gold Rush.

Take the historic White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad, winding your way through the Skagway Valley up to the White Pass. It's an unforgettable experience as if you've stepped back in time to the days of the prospective gold miners. Along the ride, encounter historical sites such as Bridal Veil Falls and Inspiration Point. Discover the infamous Dead Horse Gulch, a point along the trail where 3,000 horses perished due to dreadfully narrow, steep, slick, and overcrowded conditions on the White Pass trail.

Further immerse yourself in the natural beauty of snow-capped mountains, glaciers, gorges, waterways, and tunnels by hopping on a bike downhill on the original Klondike Trail back to Skagway. Feel the thrill as you race among the beauty you just laid your eyes upon, spinning those wheels downhill. Nature and history lovers will revel in this Skagway excursion as each passing point is filled with inspiring views like no one has ever seen before.

Seals and other fascinating wildlife will surely make an appearance as you subsequently hike through the trail in Battery Point, aligned with ancient spruce, hemlock, and cottonwood trees. Alas, it's time for your well-earned beer brewed at the Haines Brewery Company, a local favorite.
