Experience the natural beauty and history of the Taiya River Valley on a bicycle! During the Gold Rush, Dyea was Skagway's rival city, booming with 10,000 people. Now nature has reclaimed the land, leaving only ghosts of its Gold Rush past. This scenic tour starts with an informative van ride along the spectacular coastal inlets to the west of Skagway. Your professional guides will tell you about the rush of 98' and inform you about the ecology of this rich area. After a bicycle and safety orientation, your guide will lead your small group on a bike route that covers five miles of flat terrain for easy pedaling. You will ride through the lush rainforest, visit historic ruins, see the Chilkoot trailhead, and venture out to the coastal tidal flats where eagles, salmon, colorful wildflowers, and dazzling mountains are often in view. Do not be surprised if a bear is spotted as well! Leave the crowds behind, get some mild exercise, and take in the natural wonders of Alaska on a bicycle.
