Self-Guided Tour: Haines and Skagway by Bike

Explore two of the most scenic communities in Alaska on a bicycle. Enjoy daily tours that allow you to see our amazing landscape and wildlife up close and personal on your own schedule.

Spend two nights in Haines riding moderate self-guided bike tours 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 or bike to Chilkoot State Park to enjoy wildlife viewing and the amazing sights of glacial-fed Chilkoot Lake. The second day you will be transported out of town on the Haines Road to the distance of your choice and enjoy a scenic ride back through the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve at your own pace.

On the morning of the third day, you will take the 35-minute fast ferry to Skagway. After settling in at a local B&B, it is time to take in the sights of the historic gold rush town. You will take the mid-day departure of the White Pass and Yukon Railroad to Fraser Station in Canada and bike back to Skagway, descending the 3292' pass.

On your second day in Skagway, you will 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.

This self-guided tour enables you to enjoy these two scenic communities on your own schedule and at your own pace. A relaxing and empowering vacation that will leave you with wonderful memories of our beautiful region.
