Just booked a Mustang for 6/11, and CANNOT WAIT!!! We are ones to try and stay away from the “lolly pop” cruise tours and the cattle herding that comes with trains… Looking forward to an independent and private day in an awesome ride, while supporting a local business!

We are coming in Sept and have already booked your Mustang. I stumbled across this video and I'm just so excited to be there. Now I feel like we've already meet. Looking forward to meeting in real life.

Just did this trip last week - early June 2023 - (in their Hyundai Ioniq 5) - worth....every....penny! Easy drive (one long road) and you get to stop when you want (unlike the train in Skagway) and for as long as you want. Views are incredible for the ENTIRE drive up to Emerald Lake. Nicole - so, so sorry for your loss. You continue to be in our prayers!

George and Nicole are some of the sweetest people I've ever met! I can't wait to see them again. One of the first things I'm doing when I get back to Skagway is dropping by Klondike Electric Bikes and catching up with them.

Thanks for the great video! I will be doing this drive next week. About how long is the driving time round trip?
@klondikeelectricbicycles 2 жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoyed it! It is 145 miles round trip. With stops for enjoying the scenery, I would allow at least 5-6 hours!

What is the weather like in Mid to Late September?
@klondikeelectricbicycles Жыл бұрын
Cool, crisp..usually a little more rain. But the weather can be very different in Skagway and the Yukon. It could be rainy in Skagway and then be sunny in the Yukon. The fall colors are beautiful during that time!

Is it safe to drive with young kids? We are not able to decide among scenic rail vs bus tour vs renting a car and drive through. We have royal Caribbean and Skagway stop is 7am-3pm. Do we have enough time for this drive ?
@klondikeelectricbicycles Жыл бұрын
It is totally safe for driving with kids. You would have time to do most (if not all) of the drive!

Hi I really enjoyed your tour video. I just have one question I have booked a cruise for July. I am doing the railway tour. it booked for 2:15 pm But I really want to do the drive . 😊my ship gets there at six do you think I have enough time to go up to Emerald Lakes? If I rent a car
@LivvyLoves Жыл бұрын
How long does the drive take? With stops?? We’re cruising in may!!
@klondikeelectricbicycles Жыл бұрын
Technically it is about a two hour drive one way (without stops). I would plan 5-7 hours, so you have plenty of time to stop and enjoy the views and attractions along the way! May is my favorite month here! I hope you enjoy!!!
