Visit the Welcome to Alaska sign on a late-afternoon Skagway tour with mountain, waterfall, and cobalt lake views.

About this tour

Set out from Skagway in the late afternoon, when the crowds have thinned, for a memorable photo at the Welcome to Alaska sign. Just 14 miles from downtown, this border landmark makes a striking backdrop for a picture with your traveling companions. The Skagway Welcome to Alaska Sign Tour climbs into a mountain corridor shaped by glaciers, with views of a broad valley and rushing waterfalls along the way. At the summit, your guide stops at the sign, then chooses a few favorite pullouts for closer looks at rugged peaks, cobalt lakes, and stunted forests. The small-group outing includes dock pickup and drop-off, a knowledgeable guide, and entry into Canada. Bring a valid passport, and check whether you need a visa before traveling. With a quieter late-day visit and scenic stops beyond the landmark, this Skagway Welcome to Alaska Sign Tour pairs an iconic photo opportunity with a vivid glimpse of the surrounding landscape. Reserve your place and bring your camera for the mountain views.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 8 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Skagway
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.5. Top 30% in Skagway means it ranks in the top 30% of tours in Skagway by this score.
