Skagway Campgrounds - Reviews and Rates

Our flight to Skagway isn't until 11AM and it's a clear, sunny day, so we decide to try to hike to Mendenhall Glacier and back from our hotel near the airport. As it's a nice, flat, paved bike path, we make the 8-mile roundtrip with no sweat.

On our hike, we see the first of many ravens. This one's name is Quoth.

We board the s...

My grumpiness of the last few days has lifted somewhat after today's ride. When I woke up there was a thin cloud layer and as the day went on it became warmer and brighter, and so did my mood!! I rode for over two hours heading east on the Alaska Highway to one of my favourite places, Burwash Landing, located on Klaune Lake that is topped by She...

Welcome to Skagway! This town has historical importance to the Klondike goldrush - many men seeking their fortunes started here on their way up thru the White Pass into Canada. It was rife with thieves and scoundrels trying to take your money - kinda like it is today for cruise ship passengers! Again a town filled with jewelry shops - however, ...

This was one of those "Red Letter Days." This was our first dip into Alaska and this place "looked" like what we have always seen in pictures. We had an appointment for a bike ride this morning so we had to get up a little early. The drive from Whitehorse to Skagway is one of the best we have ever been on - and both of us have been on many of th...

In addition to working at the Liarsville Gold Rush Camp in the gift shop in costume, I also have another job "dock repping" for both the gold camp and jeep tours. I explain dock repping in detail on the blog (ctssyount.blogspot.com), but here are some photos that illustrate what this is like. Basically we meet cruise ship passengers at the dock ...

25th May 2008 I was still feeling dizzy and off balance, and really quite nauseous. Not sure if it was the just side effects of the drugs or probably more likely everything together. All my muscles were really aching and I was really tired. We were in port again at the town of Skagway. We'd had a shore excursion booked, but weren't able to make ...

Likely my favorite destination so far, this 1898 Klondike Gold Rush Replica town is nestled in the majestic snow-capped mountains of southeast Alaska. Catering to the many cruise ships that float up the local fjords, numerous jobs for adventurous young people are available. I piloted a rickshaw, aka, pedicab. I lived above the only liquor store ...

Hi you all! Plans have finally solidified a little bit. I've taken some soul searching days the past few weeks, and I am not shooting for the following in terms of career opportunities in the future, and I would love any feedback and constructive criticism anyone could give me. 1. To be a Spanish translator and interpretor 2. Public Speaker for ...

I have a plan in life outside of the bus...finally some movement! I've spent the last few weeks really asking myself what I want with my life, and that's where you all come in. I'm shooting for the following: 1. To wake up every morning in a position career wise where I can consistently have a positive influence on people's lives. 2. To not be s...

I'm still figuring out exactly what inspired this; I think a number of things: Past, present, the spirit of adventure, frustrations with the rhythmic doldrums of US culture, but most of all the feminine spirit, masculinity and desire. I've read parts of Wild at Heart by John Eldridge before, but I've never sat down with the book and just read. ...
