The Skagway Triple Adventure is the ultimate outdoor experience. You bike through the
rainforest onto the coastal tidal flats, hike the same Chilkoot Trail as the early goldrush prospectors,
then float down the glacial-fed Taiya river.
The tour begins with a 20-minute narrated van ride to the historic townsite of Dyea, the once famous
goldrush community of 10,000 prospectors. Your bicycle guide will fit you to a mountain bike and
escort you for the next 1.5 hours of easy pedaling on a flat dirt road through the temperate rainforest
and onto the tidal flats. Search for eagles and colorful wildflowers while enjoying beautiful mountain
vistas along the way.
You then meet your hiking guide and spend about 1.5 hours on the Chilkoot Trail. The first
mile is up and down along uneven terrain. The second mile is relatively flat. You will stop often to
learn about the area, take photos, and quench your thirst. You end the hike at the river to begin the
rafting portion of your adventure.
You are outfitted with rubber boots and a life jacket. The river has no whitewater. The relaxing river
float will be the grand finale on your beautiful outdoor experience. Don't forget to have your guide
take your picture with your camera. We conclude the tour with a short van ride back to town.
