Skagway Excursions

The second stop for Golden Princess is another popular port, Skagway. 

Once again, there are lots of great excursions available with Princess or whatever cruise line you're on. 

To save money, you can light out on your own.  There are some great hiking trails to explore. An amazing activity for bike riders is easy to find. Or, take yourself on a low impact walking tour.

What I do suggest is to mix it up, regardless of whether you're in Alaska or any other destination, so that you hold distinct memories for each place you visit.

While I think the great hiking and biking are hard to beat for active minded people, what you might call Skagway's signature event seems to be the White Pass Railway, whether on its own or in combination with other activities. This is a fully narrated tour through Klondike Gold Rush country in a restored locomotive from that era.

And wherever you go in Alaska, you'll want to be alert for wildlife amid the beautiful scenery.
