3 days / 2 nights

Day 1: On arrival in Skagway, pick up your rental car and take some time to get familiar with this unique Alaska town before reaching your final destination of Dyea. The old Gold Rush town site of Dyea boasted a bustling population of more than 10,000 during the gold rush; today it is a ghost town, with one significant exception. Your accommodations will be at the Chilkoot Trail Outpost, located near the Chilkoot trailhead. The Outpost is a family-run countryside retreat which offers deluxe hand-crafted cabins with private bath facilities. All cabins are equipped with microwave, refrigerator and coffeemaker. A light breakfast is included with your stay, as well as one gourmet picnic meal featuring barbequed fish and chicken or steak. Overnight Chilkoot Trail Outpost.

Day 2: Spend the next days exploring Dyea, Skagway, and the Chilkoot Trail. The natural beauty of the property offers hiking trails, picnic grounds, natural springs and a waterfall. The historic Chilkoot Trail is the "Gateway to the Klondike." It was the Klondike Gold Rush of 1896-99 that transformed the Chilkoot Trail into a legend. A fantastic day hike from your cabin is a 5 mile trek, first up the “Golden Stairway” where you gain about 500 feet of elevation, and then onto “Finnigans Point.” It takes a little over 2 hours to reach Finnegan's Camp. The trail climbs up and down over a couple of bluffs above the Taiya River, but generally is quite level. You can also visit the site of the Gold Rush town of Dyea, where you will hardly find any remnants of the former boom town. After a day of hiking, bicycling or sightseeing, enjoy a quiet and relaxing evening roasting s'mores over an onsite open campfire pit. You are also free to use the adjacent gazebo equipped with a commercial BBQ, dining area, and hot and cold running water. Overnight Chilkoot Trail Outpost.

Day 3: After breakfast, return the rental car in Skagway, or perhaps continue your vacation with a visit to Glacier Bay National Park and Denali National Park (click to view sample itinerary).
