Our final stop in Alaska was the little gold rush town of Skagway. Before the cruise, a ton of people had told us to do the train ride here that goes up into the mountains as an excursion but in reality, I’m so glad we just left the day for us to wander and get to really see the town and take it all in. Skagway is a tiny town butted up against enormous snow capped mountains and incredible scenery. The whole place felt straight out of history and the renovated town still resembles the old mining town that popped up during the gold rush way back when.
We wandered around town, grabbed lunch at the Skagway Brewery and then wandered through some shops for the perfect easy afternoon in Skagway!

I love the way it looks! It is real bizarre to see Harley and Radio Shack signs on those old buildings though haha.
Casey says
Yes!!!! It almost felt like a movie set from like 20 years ago!
Jenn says
This town is pretty much what I picture when I think of Alaska.
Casey says
Yea totally!
Kristin says
Skagway was such a crazy cute town. We didn’t spend much time actually in town – we went and visited a sled dog training camp and went horseback riding while we were there, so we only really stayed for lunch – but I would love to go back and explore more! We did try the spruce tip beer, though!
Casey says
Yea it’s so cute there! And so much to do in the surrounding areas too!

I only had a little bit of time to explore Skagway when I was there – we went up on the train – but what I saw was absolutely lovely.
Casey says
Yea super beautiful area! The mountains around there are insane!!!
