Itinerary

  1. Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park Visitor Center

    Passing by

    Journey back to 1898 as your local guide brings the Klondike Gold Rush to life. Follow the same rugged route taken by determined stampeders who climbed the White Pass Trail in search of fortune in the Yukon.

    You’ll explore historic Skagway, once a booming gateway town filled with prospectors, saloons and larger-than-life characters. Today, its preserved wooden storefronts and mountain backdrop make it one of Alaska’s most photogenic ports.

  2. Dyea

    Passing by

    After soaring into the alpine landscape, your journey continues along scenic Dyea Road toward the former gold rush townsite of Dyea. Here, breathtaking coastal views meet quiet forested valleys rich with history.

    Wildlife sightings are always possible — keep watch for bald eagles, mountain goats, bears or seals depending on the season.
