Tour Details

This Alaska Active Package includes an exciting combination of tours in Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan which are great choices for the active traveler. In Juneau, join your professional guide for a spectacular hike. In Skagway, climb aboard a Jeep and set out into the rugged Yukon wilderness. In Ketchikan, soar above the trees on an exciting zipline adventure.

Juneau Guide's Adventure Hike

Put on your hiking boots, fill your lungs with fresh air, and experience a day of world-class hiking. The pace will be brisk, the day unforgettable. Cascading waterfalls, serene alpine meadows, and quiet forest glens are just a few of the treasured places reachable only on foot. Along the way your naturalist guide will provide knowledge and perspective on the region`s natural and cultural history, and will share some of his or her favorite local stories. Before leaving downtown, your guide will select the trail best suited for the day's hiking conditions.

Weather will be of particular consideration; in this region of mountains and fjords, conditions can vary quickly and dramatically. You may find yourself hiking high above a shimmering glacial lake or along a historical trail that once served as the first road in Alaska. Explore this lush habitat and learn more about the significance and secrets of the Tongass National Forest. During much of the hike the views are panoramic, encompassing expanses of glacier-carved wilderness. Wildlife is often sighted, but not guaranteed.

There are many opportunities for photography along the trail, and frequent interpretive stops. Join us as we, in the words of John Muir, "climb to the mountains to get their good tidings."

Duration: 4 Hours 30 Minutes
Walking Information: Not wheelchair accessible and not recommended for limited mobility guests.

Skagway Yukon Jeep Klondike Adventure

After transferring to the base camp just outside of Skagway, you will have a brief orientation before boarding your four-wheel drive Jeep Wrangler® and setting out to follow the same valleys and summits of the Trail of '98. Your small group of explorers will journey into the Yukon Territory tracing the famous routes taken by the hearty gold prospectors in the late 1800s. You will be driving your Jeep® into the very setting of the fabled gold rush legends told by Robert Service. Your tour guide, in the lead Jeep®, will entertain you with the lore of the gold rush era by an interactive radio system. Driving a four-person Jeep Wrangler® provides you the freedom of exploring Klondike Gold Rush routes from the roads less taken. Amazing vistas, accessible only by off-road vehicle, await you.

View Pitchfork Falls, Moore Bridge, Dead Horse Gulch, Bracket Wagon Trail, and Tormented Valley en-route to the historic village of Carcross, named after the narrow Caribou crossing at the headwaters of the mighty Yukon River. Your rugged Jeep Wrangler® will take you up Montana Mountain where your panorama includes a view of the Carcross Desert, the smallest desert in the world.
