Explore the first two miles of the Chilkoot Trail with your naturalist river guide who will then row you down the scenic Taiya river in one of our stable 18' rafts. Once your float trip is complete, you'll enjoy a riverside snack and warm beverage. From here, we'll board back into the van and venture up the White Pass (north of Skagway) for sweeping views of towering mountains, glaciers and alpine lakes. We'll return back through U.S. customs and back to Skagway once we've made a photo stop at the "Welcome to Alaska" sign. **VALID PASSPORT REQUIRED**

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids on this hike and float combo?

A: There's no official age limit, but they recommend kids be at least 8 years old for the hike and float. It's a pretty moderate hike at first, so younger kids might find it tough. Just keep in mind that you have to carry a valid passport for everyone, including kids.

Q: Can you reschedule if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, they have a flexible rescheduling policy if the weather's too rough for the hike or float. Just make sure to contact them at least 24 hours in advance. They want everyone to have a great experience, so safety is their priority!

Q: What should we wear for the hike and float trip?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can get chilly up in the mountains, but you’ll warm up on the hike. Waterproof shoes or the rubber boots they provide are a must, especially for the float. I also recommend wearing quick-dry materials for comfort.

Just did the Chilkoot Trail hike/float! Amazing experience!

I went on the Chilkoot Trail Hike, Float, and Summit Drive last week and wow, it was breathtaking! The first two miles of the hike were manageable, and our guide was super knowledgeable. Floating down the Taiya river was such a chill way to see the scenery. And the views from the White Pass? Just incredible. I highly recommend packing a camera for that photo stop at the 'Welcome to Alaska' sign! Worth every penny, even if it was technically free!

Considering this for a family gift—thoughts?

Looking for a unique gift for my parents' anniversary and thinking about the Chilkoot Trail experience. They love nature! Is the hike really suitable for older folks? I just don’t want them to struggle too much. Also, how strenuous is it? Any tips would be great!
