| No rough seas here! |
Skagway is the nickname of Kanagu, a mythical woman who turned herself into stone and lives in the bay. It literally means "beautiful women" but also refers to the rough seas in the bay. We didn't have any rough seas the day we came in.
Downtown Skagway isn't very large, only about five blocks wide and twenty blocks long. We floated into town early in the morning. I watched as the dockhands tied the boat up and then slipped off the boat to explore the town a bit before venturing further into the wilds.The downtown area has boardwalks everywhere. Some of the stores are really cheesy tourist traps but there were some hidden gems. Like the garden at the Historic Skagway Inn with Johnny-Jump-Ups and Cosmos and other wildflowers.
As the town woke up, I went back to the ship to board a bus to my next adventure, which I can't wait to tell you about...
