Skagway was my favorite port on this itinerary. We rented Jeeps at the popcorn place and drove up into Yukon and Carcross. Just gorgeous, even in the pouring rain! Stopped at the Red Onion Saloon on our way back to the ship. Really great day! Can’t wait to go back someday!

White Pass Railway is a must!!! Incredible views. We rode the train up just over the Canadian border and our shuttle driver picked us up there and drove us back down. They stop and let you take pics on the way down. This is a good one all ages would enjoy.

This is a great port! We booked our train ride over White Pass on our own and saved about 50%. We saw Bears and Mountain Goats from the train. The train takes up into Canada but you don’t get off the train. We spent the rest of the day walking downtown shops. I recommend this as a place to get off the ship and explore.
