Skagway






Eerie and majestic drive through MT s to get to Skagway. Glaciers, low lying clouds, giving it a surreal look. The road was built long after the fishing village was established. We stayed in an RV park near the cruise ships at the waterfront. Crowds of tourists all around the town, taking trains, tour buses, and shopping. More jewelry stores than imaginable. Later in the afternoon, suddenly the streets are almost empty as the cruisers return to their ships. Pretty little town, very green, with high Mts all around. Road bikes, walked, and took a drive to Dyea, a quiet area just north of Skagway. After 2 nights we move on to join the Alaska Highway, route 1 in the Yukon.
