There's Treasure Everywhere

Alaskan Cruise, Part 3: Skagway

Leave a Comment

Our next stop on the cruise was Skagway. That was our rainiest day by far.


We went on an "Adventure Hike," again through the Tongass National Forest. We only had to wear helmets in the area where the zip-liners were overhead.


The hike was definitely an adventure as there were some parts that were so steep and rocky you needed to use ropes to help you climb up.


It was also extra slippery from all of the rain.


We loved it!


Unfortunately it was so rainy and cloudy that day, that our view of the surrounding mountains was pretty nonexistent.


But it was still a great hike!



We were SO wet afterwards. We briefly thought about going back to the boat to change our clothes before we explored downtown Skagway, but we knew we would just get soaked again so we continued on.


Skagway was a cute little town, but it was little! We walked around the shops for a while.


Amanda and Abigail had seen a place in Skagway on Instagram that sold Alaskan Fry Bread. The line was long, but it was so worth it. The fry bread was hot, fresh and delicious. Perfect when you're cold and wet!


We all huddled under little overhangs enjoying our sweet treat.


After the fry bread, most of us were ready to head back to the ship and get dry while Amanda, Abigail, Paul and Brenda went on in search of a crab lunch.


It was always great being back on the ship!


That night, the adults had reservations at one of the specialty dining rooms. We ate at the steak house, and it was SO good. We had a lot of great food that week, but that dinner was probably my favorite meal. We hung out at the mojito bar before dinner. Their raspberry guava mojitos were delightful.


Meanwhile, the kids had dinner at the Manhattan Room, which was one of the nicer sit down places. They loved their waiter, David, who was from Jamaica.
