Skagway Gold Rush Self Guided GPS Walking Audio Tour

Despre activitate

Explore a tiny village that lived a lifetime of gold fever on this self-guided walking tour. Hear the stories of Stampeders, dozens of saloons, and enough feuds to fill a book.

See Captain Moore’s claim, then hear the story of the Angel of White Pass. See the train that conquered the deadly mountain trail. Step inside the Parlour Museum and the Red Onion Saloon for tales of shootouts and conmen.

The Skagway Ranges hover over it all, mirrored in the glassy waters of river and bay. Pause where you want, skip what you don't, and explore the stories that interest you most

Itinerar

  1. Oprirea 1

    10 min

    Skagway’s harbor played a major role during the Klondike Gold Rush, bringing thousands of prospectors, supplies, and equipment into town. Its ice-free deep-water port helped make Skagway one of the most important gateways to the Yukon.

  2. Oprirea 2

    10 min

    This waterfront area connects directly with historic Broadway, the heart of Gold Rush-era Skagway. The surrounding district is filled with preserved buildings, old saloons, museums, and landmarks from the boomtown years.

  3. Oprirea 3

    10 min

    The Port of Skagway sits at the northern end of the Inside Passage and has long served as a transportation link between coastal Alaska and the interior. During the Gold Rush, this harbor became a key arrival point for stampeders heading north.

  4. Oprirea 4

    10 min

    This scenic park follows Pullen Creek and offers a quieter side of Skagway’s waterfront. Between July and September, visitors may see salmon returning upstream during the annual salmon run.

  5. White Pass & Yukon Route Railway

    5 min

    Built during the height of the Gold Rush, this railroad replaced the dangerous mountain trails once used by prospectors. Completed in 1900, it made travel between Skagway and the Yukon dramatically faster and remains one of the town’s most famous historic attractions.

  6. Skagway Centenial Statue

    10 min

    This bronze statue shows a Tlingit packer guiding a stampeder and represents the important role Indigenous guides played during the Gold Rush. It was created in 1997 to mark Skagway’s Gold Rush centennial.

  7. Jeff. Smiths Parlor Museum

    5 min

    Once the headquarters of infamous conman “Soapy” Smith, this building was at the center of Skagway’s criminal underworld during the Gold Rush. It later became a museum preserving the story of his schemes and dramatic downfall.

  8. Red Onion Saloon Brothel Museum

    5 min

    A surviving reminder of Skagway’s rowdy Gold Rush nightlife, the Red Onion Saloon recalls an era when dozens of saloons, gambling halls, and entertainment venues filled the town.

  9. Oprirea 9

    10 min

    One of Skagway’s most distinctive buildings, this hall is famous for its facade made from thousands of pieces of driftwood. It once served as a meeting place for the Arctic Brotherhood, a major frontier social organization.

  10. Oprirea 10

    10 min

    Built during the Gold Rush era, the Golden North became one of Skagway’s more refined lodging options. Its architecture and history offer a contrast to the rough saloons and bunkhouses that once dominated the town.

  11. The Mascot Saloon

    10 min

    The Mascot preserves the atmosphere of a classic Gold Rush saloon, a time when Skagway had dozens of drinking and gambling establishments. Today it offers a glimpse into the frontier entertainment culture of the late 1800s.

  12. Oprirea 12

    10 min

    This trail leads into the forest above Skagway and circles Lower Dewey Lake. The hike offers mountain scenery and a peaceful escape from the historic downtown area.

  13. Captain William Moore Cabin

    5 min

    One of Skagway’s oldest surviving buildings, this cabin belonged to Captain William Moore, who recognized the area’s potential before the Gold Rush began. His homestead became closely tied to Skagway’s early development.

  14. Oprirea 14

    5 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Eagles Hall became home to a long-running theatrical tradition celebrating Skagway’s Gold Rush history. The Days of ’98 Show blends music, comedy, and storytelling with the colorful story of Soapy Smith.

  15. Mollie Walsh Park

    5 min

    This community park honors Mollie Walsh, one of the notable women of the Klondike era. Her story reflects the independence, hardship, and personal drama experienced by many people during the Gold Rush.

  16. Oprirea 16

    10 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    Housed in a historic stone building dating to 1899, the museum contains Gold Rush artifacts, photographs, and local records. The building itself is notable as Alaska’s first stone building.

  17. Oprirea 17

    10 min

    This site highlights the deep Tlingit history of the Skagway area. The Tlingit lived here long before the Gold Rush and played important roles as guides, packers, traders, and boat operators.

  18. Oprirea 18

    10 min

    The church reflects Skagway’s early religious history. Its original predecessor was converted from a general store in 1898, making it the first Catholic church established in Skagway.

  19. Oprirea 19

    10 min

    Skagway Airport connects the town with nearby communities and offers dramatic views of surrounding mountains, waterways, glaciers, and forests. Its location highlights how important air travel remains in remote Southeast Alaska.

  20. Yakutania Point

    5 min

    Yakutania Point is a scenic hiking destination overlooking Skagway’s surrounding mountains and waterways. It offers a quieter outdoor experience and some of the best natural views near town.

  21. Oprirea 21
