surgie Posted November 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2014 We'll be in port from 7:00am - 4:00pm. We plan to take the 3.5 hour White Pass bus/train trip at either 7:30 or 8:15. What would be a good way to spend the afternoon? (not interested in zip lining or flight-seeing. It seems like so many excursions are too long to get us back to the ship by 3:30 if we do the bus/train in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted November 14, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Look thru the town web site under VISITOR for info on activities, self-guided tour map, trails, etc. http://skagway.com/ I enjoyed the Goldrush Museum then walked to the Goldrush Museum at the edge of town where the characters are buried. At the edge of the cemetary there's a trail to Lower Reid Falls. (the town bus will drop you nr the cemetary if you don't want to walk). http://www.smart-ak.com/Page_4.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted November 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 16, 2014 We opted for the 8:15 bus up train down with Chilkoot...that gave us the afternoon to explore Skagway..shopping & lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like so many excursions are too long to get us back to the ship by 3:30 if we do the bus/train in the morning. We were there last August and took the train to the Canadian border and back. We got back about noon and walked over the the Skagway Fish Company for lunch. Then just wondered around town, ate ice cream, went to the Sarah Palin store (she was born there don'tcha know). Went to a few other stores and just relaxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
