Skagway is one of my favorite places on earth. I lived and worked there for two summers in the mid 90s. I don't know what it like there now, but I suspect it is much like what it was then. Yeah, a little bit too much commercialization, but if you dig below the surface you will find group of wanderers who, if you get to know them, will expand your horizons.
We enjoyed our time in Skagway. We rode the White Pass train trip and enjoyed Ravens Brew Coffee at the Depot. We got to spend a little time shopping in town before disembarking for our next port. Would have loved to spend more time there. Great video would love to do a helicopter tour. Maybe next time.
Thanks for posting this video. I am leaving for a cruise to this area in just a few days. This helps me with my packing. I am looking forward to this cruise.
Skagway is pretty, but it is a bit commercialized for me. That being said I did go on the helicopter flight to the glacier. However,I also spent two nights in the little town of Dyea outside of Skagway. it was much more quite out there and a lot of history too.
I would like to see the Northern Lights just once in my life. At the writing of the this comment, end of February, would this time a year be a good time to visit Alaskan Pan Handle to accomplish this goal? I'm sending this comment and others like it today, trying to decide where to go on my vacation and see the Lights (at the last minute).
For every one who loves these travel videos of Alaska, might I encourage you to read "Alaska" by James Michener, to get the rest of the unique story! You won't be disappointed, I assure you!
Hoosier Tim, you must have made a lot of money in you life to goes on all these cruises and side trips. Or you are a tour agency owner and made a lot of money. I believe the helicopter ride alone in Skagway was $800. per person (in 2016).
@0711geerdes $225 for rent thats cheap an it sounds like you had a lot of fun out there. im thinking of heading out there on vacation some time in 2013 hopefully the hotels aren't expensive.
I hated this place. I went there to visit my friend who was working out there for the summer yes it look nice in the pictures and on video but living there omg its sooo horrible. Guys stare at the girls not even in a cool flirty way but in a really digusting perveted way ew. I would nv go to skagway ever!! Go for one or two days its has really cool stuff to do like this beautiful hike and a dog sleds stuff like that then yes go but other then that don't go.

Visited Skagway back in August 2014 and fell in love with the town, the mountains, the people and the way of life there!
Skagway is cool town to visit. Lots of nice stores, attractions and places to eat for its small size. It can get pretty crowded at times.
Beautiful mountains surrounding the little town. In Rio de Janeiro we also have mountains right in the city, but certainly with no snow!
Very very good video. I enjoyed it.

13 years ago :) Looks like a nice place to go to !
The landscape is the same as in Norway. -But the architecture is only found in the mining towns here... I wish there were more towns like Skagway.
Beautiful video! and a lovely destination, I hope to visit Skagway in the future
I was in Skagway in 1993 . No.1 .🐻🐻🐻🐻
It looks like Mayberry RFD but with mountains. I love it!
Picturesque little town, take away the beautiful scenery and you could be in any Mexico tourist town.
Best part of Skagway is to get away. Like bus tour to White pass summit.
alaska is beautiful. but how is the cost of living out there? also what kind of jobs are available?
When I lived in Skagway, I used to go to Whitehorse every month or so.
Very nice country love it this my dream come true when my child's i want to go ther how ca i ask something's needed biss or no
Would so love to live there.
Beautiful

Secretly I want to run away and live in a town like this.
