Deluxe Klondike Experience & Rail Adventure

Klondike Gold Fields Tour Brochure (0.8MB)

Experience the 1898 rush for Gold as the stampeders never could – in first-class comfort as you retrace their route from Skagway to the Klondike Gold Fields.

At the White Pass & Yukon Route Depot, board a vintage railcar for a ride on the “Scenic Railway of the World.” See the original Klondike Trail of 1898 worn into the rocks – evidence of the gold seeker’s arduous journey. In Fraser, British Columbia, disembark the train and board a motorcoach for the dramatic journey down the Klondike Highway. Stops are made along the way for pictures at scenic vistas and historical locations.

Learn the art of Gold Panning from our Prospectors and practice your technique in heated water troughs.  After you’ve assuredly hit pay dirt, you can weigh your fortune in the Gold Shack or Gold Parlor.  You may choose to transform your memories and newfound fortune into a fine piece of jewelry, charm, or business card for yourself or loved ones back home.   The bezel is the perfect way to preserve the elegant beauty of natural gold.  Price ranges for every budget.

A gift for everyone can be found at the Gold Parlor, which has the finest selection of Gold Nuggets and Gold Quartz Jewelry in Skagway.

Visit one of the historic "cribs" on site and view a collection of Alaskan artifacts, whalebone, ivory, and local hand carved artwork or simply take in the stunning views by taking a stroll down the banks of the Skagway River.

The past will come to life when you visit Gold Relics Room where photographs, artifacts, and interpretive displays show you how a prospector lived.  Your family can step into the past by dressing up in authentic miners clothing  and have your picture taken!  Our tour has a relaxed pace, is wheelchair accessible and can be easily self-guided.        

Enjoy a gourmet lunch at the Historic Skagway Inn, home to many “ladies of the night” during the Klondike Gold Rush. In the intimate Olivia’s Restaurant, feast on a variety of delicacies such as a “Garden City” salad, halibut chowder, smoked salmon pasta or chicken pot pie and rhubarb crisp or chocolate zucchini parsnip cake. After lunch, stroll through the inn’s colorful garden that thrives in the long days of summer.

There is so much for the whole family to enjoy at the Klondike Gold Fields! Come along for an unforgettable Alaskan experience!
