On this intimate bike ride through the beautiful Taiya River Valley, you'll pedal five miles on flat dirt roads through the rainforest, visit the historic site of Dyea, and venture onto the coastal tidal flats.
During the Gold Rush, Dyea was Skagway's rival city, booming with 10,000 people. Now nature has reclaimed the land, leaving only ghosts of its Gold Rush past. This scenic tour starts with an informative van ride along the spectacular coastal inlets to the west of Skagway. Our professional guides will regale you with stories of the rush of 1898 and inform you about the ecology of this rich area.
After a bicycle and safety orientation, your guide will lead your small group on a bike route that covers five miles of flat terrain for easy pedaling. You'll ride through the lush rainforest, visit historic ruins, see the Chilkoot trailhead, and venture out to the coastal tidal flats where eagles, salmon, colorful wildflowers, and dazzling mountains are often in view. If you're lucky, you might even spot a bear!
