Skagway Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Today we are in Skagway and at 8:15 a.m. I went on a shuttle trip to The Summit. Our shuttle driver was Tom and he has lived in Skagway year around for 26 years. In addition to being a shuttle driver he is also a professional photographer and makes jewelry.

Of course it's raining today...this is getting old. Nothing like last year when it...

After a quick lunch in the coach at Wal-mart, we hitched up, reinstalled the tow car shield and headed southeast on the Alaska Highway for 13 miles. Then, we turned south on the South Klondike Highway towards Skagway. Many people consider this one of the most scenic drives in North America. The drive is pretty plain – normal southern Yukon...

When we woke up, the ship has arrived in Skagway. As usual, we went to Windjammer Cafe for breakfast. As we went into the cafe, we were awed with what we saw outside the window. The view was great! This is what I expect from Alaska.

Skagway is pretty much a tourist city. The main area of this city fills with shops and restaurant. Cruise ...

We get started a little later than we'd hoped, as there were numerous things to take care of before hitting the trail: dividing up the gear, getting train tickets for the ride back from Lake Bennett, checking in with the Park Service, and such. But it's another beautiful day, and our hopes are high. Stopping on the way to the trailhead, we chec...

The ship docked this morning at 6:00 in a very windy and chilly Skagway. From the docks you see very little of this quiet small town. What you are greeted with though is a solid rock face raising 500 almost straight up from the water. This rock wall is partly covered with small evergreens and partly with graffiti. The graffiti is really more wha...

At the Jewel Gardens Glass Blowing Experience guests are able to watch a demonstration of professional glass blowers at work, and then get a chance to assist the blower to make their own hand-blown glass ornament. Afterward there is a "fancy tea" in the tearoom of the Jewel Garden Restaurant.

Day 10 July 11, 2008 Teslin, YT, Canada to Skagway, AK, USA Today was a rather uneventful day. We drove through the mountains for quite a bit with the only wildlife sighting being a bald eagle. The mountains across the lake were beautiful with the sun rising over them. We made it through customs and continued through the mountains. The temperatu...

Thursday, July 10 We have been camping in the woods nine miles from Skagway at the lovely NPS Dyea campground, and this morning we crossed the Taiya River to visit the historic Dyea town site and join another NPS walking tour. This town had a very short life. It began with the gold rush and attracted residents fleeing the lawlessness of Skagway,...

Ok - Getting here was a blast!! After packing all night and not getting ready :) I almost missed my flight... Mark raced me to the airport - in his pajamas - and got me there in time..well, I would have been there in time if the security hadn't decided to give me some extra screening (that young traveller with the blatently yellow drybag and the...

Today our ship is in Skagway, where our horseback riding adventure is booked. The cruise line offered an excursion with Chilkoot Horseback, but some research seemed to indicate that most people preferred a different horseback ride (not booked through the cruise) located in Carcross, YT. We booked it through Southeast Tours in Skagway. After chec...
