Chilkoot Hike and Float Tour
The Chilkoot Hike and Float Tour is a great family oriented hiking adventure along the world famous Chilkoot Trail. This wilderness hike takes place in the heart of the Klondike Gold Rush National Park, and is Skagway's most affordable hiking and rafting adventure tour.
This moderate hike is fairly steep for the first quarter mile, going uphill through old growth rain forest for about 200 yards and then back downhill, with the remainder on quite level ground.
At the end of the hike, you will board an 8 man rubber raft with your guide for a peaceful river float through the Klondike Gold Rush National Park on the Taiya River, which runs parallel to the historic Chilkoot Trail. As you continue floating down the Taiya River, you will see little evidence of human civilization. However, you may see/hear the signs of a wide variety of wildlife, including bears, wolves, coyotes, otters, salmon and eagles; all of which make their homes in the Taiya River Valley. Concluding your Taiya River float, you will be treated to a riverbank snack of smoked salmon, cheese, crackers and juice before ending your adventure back in Skagway.
Duration: 4 hours (approx.), $85.00
