Explore two of the most scenic communities in Alaska on a bike at your own pace.

On this self-guided tour you enjoy daily rides in the towns of Skagway and Haines. You get to see our amazing landscape and wildlife up close and personal on your own schedule. You can choose when and what to eat from a selection of fine local restaurants.

Spend two nights in Haines riding moderate self-guided bike tours of your choice each day. We provide you with Specialized Sirrus touring bicycles, maps and local information. You can explore Chilkat State Park by bicycle and take in the sights of Letnikof Cannery and Rainbow Glacier. You can also bike to Chilkoot State Park to enjoy wildlife viewing and the amazing sights of glacial-fed Chilkoot Lake. The second day you can ride out of town on the Haines Road through the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve to the distance of your choice. We then pick you up in the van for the ride back to town.

On the morning of the third day you take the thirty-five minute fast ferry to Skagway. After settling in at a local B&B you can take in the sights of the historic gold rush town. You can take the mid-day departure of the White Pass and Yukon Railroad to Fraser Station in Canada then bike back to Skagway, descending the 3292' pass in fifteen miles.

On your second day in Skagway you may choose to bike to Dyea on the edge of the rainforest and explore the Chilkoot Trail, the historic gold rush era townsite and nearby tidal flats. The next morning you return to Haines aboard the fast ferry before continuing your Alaskan journey. You may choose to extend your stay in Haines or continue on to nearby Glacier Bay or Juneau.
