Skagway Alaska

We had booked that as well, but unfortunately the ceiling was too low for the helicopter to fly.

When something like that happens, I’m pretty sure the rule is you have to go back and try again! :biggrin:

Skagway was my favorite port. Looking forward to visiting her again in August. Hubby and I did the walking tour last time we were there. Not sure what

we will do this time. My friend is having issues with her back so it will be a wait and see.

Skagway's a cool town. That street car tour sounds fun.

We're also doing a tour that visits the Red Onion Saloon for a Brothel tour and Gold Rush Cemetery and hear stories of Skagway’s most famous residents. :D

The stories always add so much to a trip. It’s great to see the sights but when you get the stories too everything becomes so much more meaningful and memorable!

Skagway (contrary to others on this thread) is not our favorite port. For us it is waaaaay too commercialized. The first time we were there we did the White Pass Railway up to the Yukon - he absolutely loved the scenery and information on that fun trip. The town was overrun with tourists (cruisers) which didn't make it a very pleasant experience for us. The second time we did a sled dog and dog mushing tour which was OK.

I have often wondered about that ... the town is so small, and when there are several ships in port, it must get very crowded. I guess I'll see for myself when I'm there in 3 weeks.
