Skagway Hiking Tour 3 hr

Trade Skagway’s streets for a trail through the alpine wilderness of White Pass. This three-hour Skagway hiking tour pairs Klondike Gold Rush stories with close-up views of Alaska’s rugged mountain landscape.

Begin with a guided drive through town and up the Klondike Highway, where your guide shares local history and explains the region’s natural features. At the trailhead, set out on a roughly two-hour hike through alpine forest beneath towering, snow-capped peaks. Naturalist guides point out native plants and wildlife and describe the area’s glacial past. Binoculars help bring the mountain and river scenery into sharper view.

Pause at a dramatic overlook for a snack and sweeping views across Skagway valley, White Pass, and Lynn Canal. Bottled water, trekking poles, and an air-conditioned vehicle are provided. The hike requires a high level of physical fitness and operates in all weather, so come prepared with sturdy closed-toed shoes, warm layers, and rain gear. Meet your guide at the end of your ship’s pier 15 minutes before departure. Choose this Skagway hiking tour for a rewarding way to experience the landscape beyond town.
