On this tour you will:
  • Begin your tour through Skagway's historic downtown area. Your guide will point out places of interest and regale you with tales of the famous and foolhardy, for approximately 15 minutes.
  • Discover Liarsville Gold Rush Trail Camp and Salmon Bake, nestled beside a waterfall at the foot of the White Pass and so named for the journalists dispatched to Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush who fabricated tall-tales from this location. Your Liarsville experience begins with an all-you-can-eat alfresco feast in the forest that includes wild Alaskan-caught salmon freshly grilled over an alder wood fire; Chilkoot Chicken; Panners Pasta; Mother Load Mac and Cheese; Liarsville Rice Medley; Prospector Pete's Reindeer Beans; Sluice Box Slaw and other fresh salads; cornbread; coffee; lemonade and blueberry cake for dessert.
  • After your meal, mosey over to the gold rush-era trail camp. Enjoy the waterfall and the authentic exhibits of Liarsville. Browse for souvenirs in the Fancy Goods Gift Shop.
  • Be taught the art of gold panning, and then be set free in the Liarsville gold fields, where you are guaranteed to find the precious metal that drove men and women wild with gold fever! You are guaranteed to find gold in every pan!
  • Once you've made your fortune, gather around the campfire to roast marshmallows. Help yourself to cookies and apple cider and have your picture taken with the camp's lovable mascot, an Alaskan malamute named Denali.
  • Gather at the Liarsville Hippodrome, where a cast of sourdoughs and dance hall girls will entertain you with a hilarious melodrama and a poem by the "Bard of the North," Robert Service. Take time to wander through the camp and visit the general store, saloon and laundry tents to view the antiques and vintage clothing left behind by the miners and dance hall girls.
  • Conclude your approximate 90-minute visit to Liarsville, re-board your motor coach and continue your city tour. Pass the scenic overlook and the Gold Rush Cemetery during an approximately one-hour ride before returning to pier.
