A scene from the early Alaskan gold rush days - they were tough!

Welcome to Skagway - and 4 cruise ships at once!

Everyone wants to hold an Iditarod puppy!

The dogs were surprisingly lean - nothing like an Alaskan husky.

We both found gold - not enough to pay for the trip though!

You do not need snow to be absolutely breathtaking!

The cruise ships berthed at the end of the main street.

We had an exciting sled ride around the camp. Here the dogs have a rest.

There was something for everyone on sale in Skagway.

Skagway - start of Gold Mining in Alaska

28 augustus 2019, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

Next stop is Skagway - population about 1000 people but 4 cruise ships together and it grows to 12,000.
We walked the historic main street and then went on a 5 hour trip that followed the path of the early gold for miners to the Yukon.
The Iditarod Musher Camp (dog sled farm) was very interesting and we really enjoyed our sled ride (even though the sled was a dune buggy!).
Then a turn at panning for gold and although we didn't strike it rich we both found some gold specks. Enough to make us happy.Meer informatie
