Hi, I’m Chris, and I’d love to be your guide on an unforgettable journey through Skagway and the Yukon! Originally from New York, I first came to Skagway in 2014 and instantly fell in love with its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and rugged charm. After spending a few years away, I couldn’t stay gone for long—this place kept calling me back. Now, I get to share my passion for the region with visitors from all over the world. As a photographer and storyteller, I’ve spent years capturing the magic of this land through my lens. I’m always on the lookout for the best views, hidden gems, and wildlife encounters that make each tour unique. Beyond photography, I’ve been apprenticing with a local jeweller, crafting ivory and gold pieces sourced from the Yukon, giving me an even deeper appreciation for the rich history and natural beauty of this region. I hope you'll join me on a private, customizable tour, where I’ll bring Skagway’s fascinating past to life with engaging stories, stunning scenery, and plenty of laughter along the way. Whether we’re spotting wildlife, exploring historic sites, or taking in the majestic mountain views, I’ll make sure you leave with incredible memories—and maybe even a few expert photography tips! Experience Skagway & the Yukon with Me, Chris! 🚐 Let’s embark on an unforgettable adventure together—book your tour today!
