Chilkoot Trail Hike & Taiya River Float
Hike the historic Chilkoot Trail, then enjoy a scenic float on the Taiya River with stunning views and local history in Skagway.
Enjoy a guided hike along the world famous Chilkoot Trail, once the main route to the riches of the Klondike during the gold rush, now a tranquil place of incredible beauty. Arrive at Taiya River, where your raft awaits for the scenic float (no whitewater) back to Dyea. The forest gives way to fields of beach greens and wild iris, and the granite walls of the fjords rise steeply to the snow-capped peaks and hanging glaciers. Enjoy a riverside snack of homemade cookies and a hot beverage.
