Skagway Wanderings

Skagway is an interesting town. Once a gold rush hub, it's now preserved in that style for the masses of cruise ship tourists they now depend on. It's a small place - only about 900 people live there year round and this year's graduating high school class only had 7 students. Their singular grocery store is stocked with a once a week boat from Seattle, and there are no hospitals or doctors. It's very cute with the old western style shops, but as expected, the shops are all very touristy. Some highlights from our 2 evenings here were spruce tip ale from Skagway Brewing and many delicious cocktails from Skagway Spirits gin. There are also incredible views all through town of the surrounding mountains and waterways, and the perfect weather helped all of that shine.Baca selengkapnya
