Skagway was one of the port cities we visited on an Inside Passage Cruise in Alaska. While Glacier Bay, College Fjord, and Denali were all my favorite place s on this trip, Skagway was my favorite town. The drown town consists primarily of one main street, and a few side street that branched off from it. Mostly there are museums and tourist shops and jewelry or art shops, but Skagway has a couple of breweries that are also fun to visit. We also did and excursion in the morning from Skagway to Patterson Glacier that involved a short hike through some woods and a canoe ride across Patterson Lake to the glacier. This was a fun excursion that I would recommend. The rowing is shared by enough people that it it not difficult ( and the canoes sport an outboard motor for when the current starts getting stronger). Most of the people in my canoe were elderly, and we still managed quite well. This was about as close as you can get on land to one of the Alaska glaciers without landing on one by helicopter, or arranging a small boat that can approach nearer than the cruise ships, or by participating in a younger or experienced hiking expedition.
