Horseback riding in Skagway

See the remains of what was once a city of 10,000 greedy stampeders as you wind your way through one of Alaska's most breathtaking valleys just as the original stampeders did... on horseback!  Your journey begins with a tour by van through historic Skagway then nine miles across some of Alaska's most beautiful back-country wilderness and into the Klondike Gold Rush National Park.

The adventure on horseback will begin deep in the heart of Dyea Valley and bring you to its original town site near the waterfront. Along the way your guides will constantly be tickling your ears with stories of the area's gold rush history "Sourdough" style.  You'll appreciate our gentle horses as you pose for a picture or watch wildlife. Riders of all experience levels are welcome to participate as no running of the horses is allowed on the trip:  just an easy walk or trot to give everyone plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. When you've finished your trek on horseback, sit down and visit with your guides as you enjoy a beverage and some of our famous alderwood smoked salmon pate'!
