Skagway Gold Rush Self Guided GPS Walking Audio Tour

About this activity

Explore a tiny village that lived a lifetime of gold fever on this self-guided walking tour. Hear the stories of Stampeders, dozens of saloons, and enough feuds to fill a book.

See Captain Moore’s claim, then hear the story of the Angel of White Pass. See the train that conquered the deadly mountain trail. Step inside the Parlour Museum and the Red Onion Saloon for tales of shootouts and conmen.

The Skagway Ranges hover over it all, mirrored in the glassy waters of river and bay. Pause where you want, skip what you don't, and explore the stories that interest you most
