Jen and Dave: Adventuring

Skagway is a cute gold rush town in a horseshoe of snowy mountain peaks and misty forests, connected to the world through the marine highway, a land highway to Carcross, Yukon, the famed White Pass Railway, and the infamous Chilkoot Trail.

Town is small, allowing us to wander through it all, check out the trains, and walk back along the river within about an hour and a half. We finished with a trip to Rushin’ Tailors’ Quilt Alaska for their custom wilderness batiks and to the Gold Rush National Historic Site interpretive centre.

Next came a soak in a rain-topped hot tub, revelling in the mountain mist. A casual lunch and we found ourselves back at the Crow’s nest for some relaxing hobby time.
