About This Tour
Explore the first two miles of the Chilkoot Trail with your naturalist river guide who will then row you down the scenic Taiya river in one of our stable 18' rafts. Once your float trip is complete, you'll enjoy a riverside snack and warm beverage. From here, we'll board back into the van and venture up the White Pass (north of Skagway) for sweeping views of towering mountains, glaciers and alpine lakes. We'll return back through U.S. customs and back to Skagway once we've made a photo stop at the "Welcome to Alaska" sign. **VALID PASSPORT REQUIRED**
