Skagway Hike and Float | Alaska Cruise Excursion
On our Alaska cruise in Skagway, Alaska we decided to do a hike and float tour excursion with Skagway Shore Tours. The hike on the Chilkoot Trail with a raft float down the Taiya River was the perfect way to explore nature in this beautiful Alaskan town.
We hiked two miles up (and we do mean UP) the Chilkoot Trail. The elevation was so steep in a few place they have added steps to help tourists like us make it through. Can you believe men used to do this trail with tons of gear strapped to their back in order to cross to the gold rich areas of the Yukon? It was crazy! The float down the river after the hike was the perfect recovery while watching beautiful scenery pass by.
Thanks for watching!

Visiting Chilkoot Trail, Historical Place in Alaska, United States & British Columbia, Canada
The Chilkoot Trail is a 33-mile (53 km) trail through the Coast Mountains that leads from Dyea, Alaska, in the United States, to Bennett, British Columbia, in Canada.
It was a major access route from the coast to Yukon goldfields in the late 1890s. The trail became obsolete in 1899 when a railway was built from Dyea's neighbor port Skagway along the parallel White Pass trail. For more info, visit this link:

A special thanks to our guides at Liquid Alaska for making the trip memorable!

Hiking the Chilkoot Trail is on a lot of peoples to do list, mine included. It has the famed history of being the trail that people took to the last of the worlds great gold rushes, to ‘The Klondike’. The trail hit its peak in 1898. More than 22000 people hauled more than a ton of supplies per person over the Chilkoot pass on route to the town of Bennett. From there they made their way by boat to Dawson City in the Klondike. More than 100 years later I follow in their footsteps by hiking the Chilkoot Trail. Afterwards I’ll Canoe the Yukon River to Dawson City in the Klondike and pan for gold I arrived in the Alaskan town of Skagway on an overcast windy day. It was midday and I had the intention of starting to hike the Chilkoot Trail on the same day. A permit is required as only 50 people per day are allowed to cross the Chilkoot Pass, This is the international border between USA and Canada.I didn’t have a permit or booking so I went to the Trail headquarters in Skagway and made a booking. There was still spots available for me. As the weather can play a part in this hike I noted that there was a weather window of a couple of days that should make crossing of the Chilkoot Pass a joy.Wear sturdy walking shoes with good traction. Hiking poles are available for the hiking portion. For the Float portion we have lifejackets, rubber boots to wear instead of your shoes, and long rain ponchos. Tour goes rain or shine so please come prepared to hike in the rain with rainjackets and/or pants if needed.
