SKAGWAY ALASKA SHORE EXCURSIONS
When gold was discovered in the Klondike region of the Yukon
Territory (just across the border from Alaska), it resulted in the
historic Gold Rush of 1898. As thousands of gold-crazed
adventurers sought the best starting point for their arduous trek,
they found the deepest penetration possible by boat was at the
northern tip of the Lynn Canal. This is how Skagway was born.

Today, the trail is a tranquil place of incredible beauty. Winding
through lush rainforest, it is alive with birds, and animals and
has wild flowers and edible berries. Knowledgeable guides weave
an entertaining mixture of natural history and Klondike
folklore. The trail brings you to the banks of the Taiya River,
where your 18-foot raft waits. Your experienced river guide will
outfit you for your float trip that culminates at the tidal estuary
where the forest gives way to fields of beach greens and wild iris.
The granite walls of the fjord rise up steeply, becoming
snowcapped peaks serrated by hanging glaciers. A riverside
snack is provided before heading back to your ship in Skagway.

goldfields of 1898. Sit down for wild-caught grilled Alaskan
salmon, baked chicken, beans, cornbread, rice pilaf, assorted
salads, coffee, lemonade and dessert!
After your meal, gather at the Liarsville Hippodrome where a cast
of sourdoughs and dance hall girls will dazzle you with
melodrama, recite Robert Service poetry and teach you the art of
gold panning. You are guaranteed to find gold in every pan!
