Skagway, Alaska
18 september 2019, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
I continued my journey through British Columbia, crossing the border into Alaska and onto Skagway where I spent the day. It was very busy, and turned out there were 3 cruise ships all in dock. Now, it is more of a tourist destination, especially for the cruise ships. But previously, Skagway was the gateway to the Klondike Gold Rush. It was fascinating to learn all about the gold rush which brought around 100,00 people from all over the world to the Yukon in search of their gold. I treated myself to a yummy lunch in the Skagway brewing company - I had Alaskan Salmon - before heading back to Whitehorse through more clouds!Läs mer

Skagway: Streetcar, Gangsters, Gold Rush
20 juli 2022, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌧 12 °C
Skagway ist eine alte Goldgräberstadt. Das Wetter ist typisch für Alaska: 13 Grad und Regen.
Ich habe mir eine Streetcar-Tour gebucht. War ich gestern noch weit außerhalb meiner Komfortzone unterwegs, bin ich heute mittendrin: die Rentner und ich saßen in einem kleinen Büsle von 1929 und ließen uns rumfahren und berieseln. Es war ganz wunderbar.
Wir hatten eine Reiseleiterin, die so angezogen war wie damals in 1890ern.
Sie erzählte uns über die Geschichte des Ortes, der von den Goldgräbern geprägt wurde. Ich war nur aufnahmefähig für fun facts:
Die Bevölkerung Skagways 1896 betrug 9.
Die Bevölkerung Skagways 1898 betrug 20.000.
Dies war der Wilde Westen. Wenn jemand erschossen wurde, schaute man in seinen Taschen nach Hinweisen nach seiner Identität. Dann wurde er vertikal in ein Grab beerdigt (die Gräber wurden gesprengt), und man hat sein Sterbedatum und sein geschätztes Alter auf eine weiße Platte geschrieben und diese als Grabstein aufgestellt.

Die Tour ging 1,5 Stunden und ich würde sagen, sie haben das Maximale aus diesem kleinen Ort rausgeholt😂Läs mer

Skagway and a trip to the Yukon
10 maj 2023, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
We docked in Skagway and today we had a trip booked through Chilkoot charters tracking the journey of the Klondike Gold Rush up from Skagway all the way to the Yukon.

This trip was all day including stopping at Carcross and Caribou Crossing to visit Husky Puppies and get some lunch. Our guide was fantastic and we learnt a lot about the area and the Gold Rush. The scenery was amazing, the weather cleared up around lunch time and we even got some wildlife sightings 🐻

The tour started by van but we finished the trip on the Yukon and White Pass railway ending in Skagway where we did a quick scout around before our all aboard time.Läs mer

A family from Brazil 一家四口从巴西来

Saw this pickup with Brazilian plate, chat with the guy he came from Brazil with wife and two kids (not shown in photo). Tough trip but will leave lifetime impressions to the kids for sure.
和这位出巴西来的车主聊了几句，他是一家人出来，夫人和两个孩子。这样的旅行会给孩子们留下终身难忘的宝贵经历。Läs mer

Bonanza Grill
2 september 2022, Förenta staterna ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
Nach der Ankunft in Skagway parkierten wir unseren Camper und schlenderten durch die Strassen.
Skagway ist auch erst durch den Goldrausch entstanden als die Goldsucher mit den Schiffen aus Seattle dort an Land gingen. So sieht auch diese Ortschaft aus wie aus einer anderen Zeit. Im Gegensatz zu Dawson City ist es aber viel touristischer und wirkt mehr "gschläckt" à la Europa-Park. An jeder Ecke hat es ein Souvenir- oder Juweliergeschäft, die Angestellten versuchen einen durch Ansprechen in die Läden zu locken und im Hafen ist ein riesiges Kreuzfahrtschiff.
Wir entscheiden uns im Bonanza Grill etwas zu abend zu essen.Läs mer

Haines to Skagway
27 maj 2023, Förenta staterna
I had the luxury of coffee in bed this morning before packing up and catching our ‘taxi’, aka random lady that agreed to pick us up, to the ferry terminal. It was still pretty windy so we weren’t sure if it would turn up so there was a cheer when it appeared in the distance.

After the shell shocked cruise day trippers got off we went aboard, all 3 of us. Obviously not busy in this direction but full the other way. Around 10 am we docked in Skagway and our transfer was waiting for us. He drove us the short distance to the Westmark Hotel where every cruise boat passenger was trying to check in or out. We navigated around them and left our bags. We wandered around and had a coffee and booked a bank breaking trip for Tuesday.

We wandered around some more, found the supermarket and popped into a few shops. The wind was strong and cold so we went to the Red Onion for lunch. It was surprisingly tasty.

After lunch we returned to the hotel and checked in. In the room we did a few jobs and had some coffee. We then went out to get some food for an in room dinner.Läs mer

Woken early by porters moving cruisers’ suitcases into the truck below the window. We went to a local cafe for coffee and breakfast and then packed our bags.

At 10am a shuttle from our next hotel arrived and took us half a mile down the road 😂🙄. We left our bags and went to the national park service museum. We listened to a talk about the women in their gold rush and then looked at the museum. It looked dreadful, an awful lot of hardship for little reward.

We then went for a walk to Smugglers Cove and sat by the beach for a while before it started raining.

We went to a brewery for lunch, I had a salmon salad. We then went to a quirky museum to see Soapy Smith’s collection of stuff.

Afterwards we walked to the hotel in the rain where we checked in. We then went to the laundromat only to find in was going to close in 10 minutes so we will have to come back tomorrow.

We nipped in the supermarket and got a few bits for dinner before going for a walking around a different part of town.

We watched some videos about the gold rush and had dinner in our room.Läs mer

30 maj 2023, Förenta staterna ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C
We picked up our boxed breakfast and filled the flask with coffee before heading down to the train station for our day trip.

After the surprise of finding scrambled egg and bacon in the box, we got our tickets and got on the train. The journey started at 7.45am and wound up the White Pass route. This was the first time in 4 years this across the border day trip has run. After a few hours we reached Bennett Lake, the end of the Chilkoot Trail. The train stopped and we walked around for 20 minutes before reboarding and continuing along the shoreline of the lake to Carcross. We arrived in Carcross around 12.30pm and had 30 minutes to look around.

We then boarded our bus and started the journey back to Skagway. The driver stopped at a few sites along the way and had us back in the hotel by 4pm.Läs mer
