Skagway, Alaska

Skagway Travel Blog | Travelogue | Travel Journal

This was a scenic 2 weeks with my family. First week was a cruise around the coast, and then the next week we traveled through the middle of the state, to Fairbanks with a stop in Denali Park.

Skagway, Alaska

Our third stop on the cruise. To tell you the truth, I don't remember what we did here. When I remember, I will update.

So, annoyed with my bad memory, I asked my aunt what we did when we were in Skagway.

 

 A HAH! Now I remember! Since this is an old gold rush town, we went to visit the Klondike Gold Rush Historical Park, which was right by the dock.  Here they talked about their history and ran films about the gold rush. That was kind - of interesting but even better was the Bernard Moore House and Cabin. You can walk there from the museum. This is an house from 1887 when the Moores founded the town. They kept the house with furnishing depicting the life during the gold rush.

 

The town also has many glacier trails including, Dewey Lakes Trail. Most of the trail we were told were pretty difficult, so we just stayed and explored the town.
