More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the dock in Skagway and the road unfurls like a show reel—glacial valleys, waterfalls that ignore distance, and a narrow highway threading cliffs and spruce. The bus climbs White Pass, wind and alpine air nudging you awake, while the guide places the Klondike Gold Rush into view: railway grades carved for steam engines, miners’ routes now framed by lichen and stone.
