The Skagway Spectacular Sightseeing Tour combines a tour of historic Skagway with a tour of the scenic White Pass Summit Area following the Klondike Highway. This Skagway Spectacular Sightseeing Tour also parallels the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad summit train ride much of the way to the White Pass Summit Area and is rich in our Klondike Gold Rush history. Remember: Your visit to Skagway cannot be complete without experiencing the White Pass - taking the Skagway Spectacular Sightseeing Tour is your most cost effective means to see the wilderness which inspired Robert Service and Jack London! Your tour guide begins your shore excursion with a drive through tour of Skagway's Historic District; bringing to life Skagway's lawless days during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897-99. During this time Skagway, Alaska was known as the toughest town on earth with at least 84 saloons, even though it was illegal to consume, possess, or distribute alcoholic beverages! The first stop on the Skagway Spectacular Sightseeing Tour is the Skagway City Overlook where you will enjoy the breathtaking view. Here your guide will take your picture with the city of Skagway, your cruise ship in the harbor, the beautiful Lynn Canal, and the spectacular Chilkat Mountains. Next, your Skagway Spectacular Sightseeing Tour will visit the Klondike Gold Rush Cemetery, a.k.a. "Skagway's Boot Hill". Here your guide will tell the tale of Frank Reid and "Soapy" Smith and their famous gunfight (the most famous shootout since the OK Coral) which changed the future of Skagway, Alaska. Leaving Skagway, Alaska for the White Pass Summit Area, you will journey along the Klondike Highway, which parallels the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad train ride. In between visiting historic points of interest, azure glaciers, thundering waterfalls, majestic mountain vistas, and overlooks of pristine wilderness, your guide will help you relive the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897-99. One of the many highlights of this portion of the Skagway Spectacular Sightseeing Tour is drinking ice cold refreshing glacier water from Bridal Veil Falls.
