Highlights
Outing Highlights
City Overlook & Lynn Canal Panorama
The route finishes at a bluff nearly 800 feet above Skagway, where riders get a bird’s‑eye panorama of the town and the Lynn Canal — North America’s longest, deepest fjord — a fitting end to the coastal and valley scenery encountered on the tour.
Broadway, Centennial Park and the White Pass Icons
Early along the route you’ll roll past Centennial Park and Broadway’s historic buildings — including the Arctic Brotherhood Hall, the Golden North Hotel and the White Pass Train Depot — and get a photo opportunity with the vintage White Pass locomotive and rotary snowplow.
Gold panning, falls and a cemetery with stories
The tour mixes hands‑on history — a stop at Alaskan Fairytales for an authentic Klondike gold‑panning demonstration and souvenir — with quieter moments at the Gold Rush Cemetery and nearby Lower Reid Falls, tying the human stories of Skagway to its landscape.
