Skagway Overlook

Nestled along the scenic drive to Dyea, the Skagway Overlook offers a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of downtown Skagway, its historic harbor, and the snow-capped peaks that surround it. From the viewing platform, visitors can take in panoramic shots of this Gold Rush–era town, with its narrow Taiya Inlet stretching out and connecting Skagway to the rest of Alaska’s Inside Passage. The overlook provides a perfect vantage point to appreciate the town’s layout and the natural beauty that has shaped its history.
