We recently got home from an Alaskan cruise and we went on some great excursions. My favorite excursion was the Skagway Alaska Yukon Territory Scenic Drive. Travel is one of my favorite things to do and Alaska was amazing. Skagway Alaska Yukon Territory Scenic Drive Skagway Alaska was our 3rd excursion off the ship and we had a really hard time deciding on which excursion to go on. There were SO many amazing options we took forever to narrow it down. My husband and I are both big fans of the TV show Gold Rush. A lot of the show takes place in the Yukon territory. Now I knew we wouldn't actually go as far as their gold mining operations...but I thought it would be cool to have actually been in the Yukon! So the final decision came down to going as far as we could in the time we had off the ship! Why Not the White Pass Railroad? I did a lot of research about Skagway Alaska before our trip. The White Pass Railroad excursion was one of the most mentioned … [Read more...]
