Skagway City & Summit Excursion
All Ages • 2.75 Hours • Passport Required
About
Skagway's Gold Rush history comes to life on a narrated tour to the White Pass Summit with stunning mountain views and photo stops. We begin in historic downtown Skagway, where false-front buildings from the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush set the scene.
Then you'll roll out of our little port town and climb the Klondike Highway past the tree line as your guide shares funny and thought‑provoking stories. Running parallel to the original Gold Rush trail, where stampeders once struggled for months to haul supplies, the bus follows a winding road up to the 3,292‑foot White Pass Summit. Gazing out over the sub‑arctic alpine tundra of the Tormented Valley, you'll quietly wonder, "Could I have made this journey?"
